Advanced Icelandic Horse Riding Experience

5-Gait Mastery
This tour is exclusively for experienced riders ready to explore the unique 5 gaits of the Icelandic horse: walk, trot, gallop, tölt, and pace. Led by a highly skilled riding instructor, you’ll ride 2–3 different horses to discover their special abilities and refine your technique. The program balances practice and hacking across the scenic Vindheimamelar show grounds and surroundings. Please provide detailed riding experience during booking so we can match you with the perfect horses. Beginners are not permitted on this tour.

What do I need to bring?

Be prepared for all kinds of weather and wear lots of layers! We recommend thermal underwear, sweater(s) and a windproof jacket as well as gloves, a scarf and warm socks. Wear comfortable pants and strong shoes (hiking boots are fine). We will provide you with a helmet and rain gear or a snow suit. Please note that we require you to wear a helmet when riding with us, so if you’d like to wear a woolen hat or head band, make sure it’s a thin one and fits comfortably under a helmet.
