On my sister and my trip to Iceland (both in our 50's) we both made a list of the top things each of us wanted to do. The top of my list was ride an Icelandic horse. While it was low on my sister's list because she hasn't ridden on many horses ever, she agreed to go along. I picked Galsi because of the great reviews and what seemed like the best value...I didn't go wrong!! It was excellent. The horses were very well trained and you could tell very well cared for. Our guide Karen was amazing!! I had done a fair amount of riding before, but only in a Western saddle and my sister had only ride a handful of times in her life. Karen managed to accommodate both of our needs and expectations and was just a joy to be with. She let us through pastures, up and down some hills, and over to scenic bluffs overlooking the city and the ocean. Upon leaving we were also greeted by the owner who wanted to make sure we were satisfied and thanked us for coming. I would definitely recommend taking the ride to Blonduos to ride Icelandic horses. The drive is beautiful, away from the city of Reykjavik and the people and horses at Galsi are amazing!

Horse tours in Northern Iceland. We offer guided horse tours with one of us, the local farmers at Langhus farm, or our assistant guides. We have well trained horses, steady and obedient, they are our family and work horses, and we have horses for both beginners and experienced riders. Get to know the nature, the horses and the culture. We love horse tours. It's been our passion, all our life. To go out in the nature, be a team with our horse, and cross beautiful places, and sometimes tough landscape, that molded our beloved Icelandic horse. We take the time to match you with the right horse for you, and to give good instructions about riding so you can enjoy the tour better. We emphasize on a personal experience and small groups. The small group size allows good levels of dialogue along the way. Just feel free to contact us and we make something wonderful together, and more important, have fun. Our niche is creating unique, intimate, authentic experiences, off the beaten path.
