Why you should ride Icelandic horses in Iceland - Riding as a family in the gaits Tölt and Pass
Activities: We booked a half-day tour for beginners. We were provided with windproof overalls and helmets. We rode on Icelandic horses through the snowy landscape. We started with a slow pace and then tried the Tölt and Pass gaits. We spent time with our horses, giving them a lot of attention
Highlights: The children loved riding the horses, and especially enjoyed the Tölt and Pass gaits. "The animals ran quite calmly and steadily through the snow-covered stable facilities," making the experience very beginner-friendly. We could also relax with coffee, tea and cocoa afterwards ✨
