Finnsstaðir Horse Rental

4 months ago

An incredible place full of adorable animals (cats, guinea pigs, chickens, rabbits, and of course, horses) and friendly people. The guides are really professional and adapt well to your level of confidence in riding. We did about a two-hour ride through beautiful landscapes filled with forests, great roads for tölt, and even a little 'beach' with a river crossing. It's a great place to be and enjoy nature with well-trained horses that are taken good care of. Highly recommend for all level riders and those who would like to experience their first Icelandic horse ride.

This was our favourite adventure on our 8-day trip around Iceland! Helga and the team were very helpful guides who ensured we were equipped with all the required gear to stay warm in the sub-freezing conditions. We were skeptical as we visited during a very cold snap with record snowfall, however they were able to accommodate us without any issues and we were very warm in the harsh conditions. Two out of three of us had never ridden a horse before, yet with the careful and patient instruction of our guides we were trotting away in no time at all! They also ensured that we were on gentle horses that would correct our balance and follow the trail. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, we hope to come back again soon!

An unforgettable horseback-riding experience! Helga was incredibly friendly and shared so much knowledge about Icelandic horses. She explained how to ride very thoroughly, and you could really feel how genuinely she cares for and looks after all the horses. If you have the time, I highly recommend coming here to enjoy the fun of horseback riding!
