In the morning the group will be picked up by our private bus from BSI busstation downtown Reykjavík. After the busdrive up north (about 3 hours drive), the first ride is a short but nice ride with just 1 horse per person (no herd) along lake Húnavatn towards the shores of the North Atlantic ocean / Greenland sea. This ride is ideal to get used to the horses and the way of riding in Iceland before we ride a long day away from roads in the coming days

We ride from the farm down to lake Hóp, but today we ride along the shores of the lake and have a beautiful view over the lake until we reach the river Víðidalsá which we follow upstream riding along the soft riverbanks. We’ll cross the river several times on our way to the farm Stóra Ásgeirsá where we‘ll leave the horses for the night.

Today we enjoy the excitements of seeing the local farmers bringing their horses to the corral „Víðidalstungurétt“. We will ride with a big group of riders towards the gate from the mountains from where the farmers drive the big herd towards the corral. About 1000 young horses and mares with foals come together at the corral and it´s an amazing sight to see this big herd running down from the mountains.

In the morning we watch the farmers while they separate the horses at the corral. We will spend good time at the roundup and will start riding later in the afternoon. We’ll ride nice trails to the farm Gauksmýri where we’ll end for the day.

Today we’ll go back to the horses one more time, and ride them home to our farm Reynhólar in the morning. At Reynhólar we will say goodbye to the horses and drive back with our bus to Reykjavík where we will arrive late afternoon at BSI busstation.
