Horse Rental in Iceland

The Icelandic horse has remained unchanged since it was first brought over from Norway by Vikings over 1000 years ago. The isolation and influence of the harsh climate of Iceland has led to the Icelandic horse becoming one of the most hardy and unique breeds on earth.

Most notable is the horse’s compact and powerful build, which suits the environment of the country. The Icelandic horse is also famous for being the only horse on earth with an extra gate, or walking pattern. This fifth gate makes riding a trained horse at high speeds feel more like relaxing on a couch.

There are several options for tourists wishing to rent a horse in Iceland. Day rentals are available throughout the country, even in Reykjavik. Additionally, an entire holiday can be had riding horses in the Icelandic countryside. Whatever you choose, a ride on this most unique creature will never disappoint.
