Me and my brother had an amazing time with Josefina! She was super spontaneous and friendly (I contacted her last minute via Facebook) and we rode for about 2 hours along the river. The horses were so lovely - I would have loved to take mine home ???? Along the trip we tölted multiple time (special pace of icelandic horses) and crossed the river which was fun and an experience! All in all the experience felt very authentic and familiar since Josefina is so friendly and the horses are so nice. Highly recommended both for beginners and a little more experienced riders! Thank you so much Josefina for the amazing time - it was definitely a highlight on my vacation :)

We offer horseback riding with personal service for small groups of people. We always begin inside our riding arena where you can get to know your horses and we will teach you all the basics about riding. Then we go outside and ride with you. There are safe and good horses for both unexperienced riders and as well for experienced riders. You can choose between 1, 2,3 or 5 hours riding trips!

In Fridheimar farm we create a pleasant Food Experience where lunch is enjoyed among the tomato plants. We also offer a Greenhouse visit where guests are informed how Icelanders are able to grow vegetables the whole year around with help from the nature. A Horse show is available where the history and gates of the Icelandic horse is introduced in a light and professional way in a nice environment. After the show our guests are welcome to the stable where they can meet the horses, take pictures and talk to the riders. This is a perfect entertainment for all age groups and specially people that are curios about family farm life in Iceland. Greenhouse visit and horse show need to be booked in advance

A UNIQUE ATTRACTION CLOSE TO REYKJAVIK Visiting The Icelandic Horse Park, you will be introduced to the unique story of the Icelandic horse, its distinctive features, and its important role in Icelandic history and culture. You will also enjoy great Icelandic food at the restaurant. Our 45-minute show, Legends of Slepnir, employs large-scale multimedia and special effects to weave together history, old Norse mythology, and exhibition riding to demonstrate the Icelandic horse's beauty and uniqueness. The result is a magical theatrical experience that emphasizes the Icelandic horse's special features and pays tribute to its historical relationship with humans throughout Iceland's history. At the end of the show we offer a behind the scenes guided walking tour through our equestrian facility with knowledgeable local guides. You will visit the barn and backstage of our horse theatre to see our operation in action. Then you will meet the horses up close and see how they each have their own unique characteristics.
