Riding Tours
We offer riding lessons, trail rides and treks. One thing that makes us unique is that we take the time to give each rider a prep lesson in our large indoor arena before heading out on the trail for a scenic ride. This is to ensure that you're comfortable on your horse and prepared for your ride.
Farm Visits
We offer groups to come to our barn to meet the Icelandic horse in person. Our qualified guides will tell you all about the horse, the history, where it comes from and what makes it so special. You will get to walk around the barn talk to the horses and take pictures. It is also optional to arrange for a live performance of the gaits in our indoor arena. A great opportunity to meet the unique Icelandic horse and learn all about it in its natural environment.
Please note: Farm Visits are only available for groups of 10 persons or more.
