Introduction Horse Riding in Iceland
IntroductionIceland, this mysterious country on the edge of the Arctic Circle, with its unique natural scenery and rich ecological resources, provides an unparalleled experience place for horse riding enthusiasts.
Unique habits of Icelandic horses: Icelandic horses are rare purebred horses in the world. Although they are small in size, they are cold-resistant and hardy, and have strong physiques. In addition to the common walking, running and jumping, they also have a unique "tölt" gait, which is smooth and stable, allowing riders to ride comfortably even in the bumpy wilderness. They are gentle and friendly, and it is easy for them to build trust with the riders, adding warmth to the journey.
Volcanoes, tundra and snow: In Iceland, ancient volcanic rocks and lush grasslands intersect, and riding through them is a unique experience, with the cracks in the earth's plates underfoot; in the tundra, horses stepping on the moss is like entering a green alien world. In winter, Iceland is covered with ice and snow, and riding through geothermal areas is a real version of "A Song of Ice and Fire."
Thoughtful and considerate supporting services: Horseback riding instructors will help tourists change into special riding clothes, help them choose horses, and customize services according to the individual needs of different tourists. They will adjust the saddle, assist them in getting on the horse, and keep a close eye on them throughout the ride to ensure personal safety. In addition to horseback riding, there are occasional traditional Saga equestrian performances, and there are also quaint sleigh rides that take you to leisurely enjoy the scenery and immerse you in the joy of Icelandic horseback riding.
When you mount the sturdy backs of Icelandic horses, it's as if you've stepped into a Nordic epic. The hooves of the horses strike the open wilderness, and as you ride through the vicissitudes of volcanoes, the tranquility of the tundra, and the wonder of the snowy landscapes, you carve out your own adventurous chapter.
