  1. What a fun adventure. For whatever reason, I am afraid of horses and always avoid horseback riding when I travel. But Icelandic horses are just so beautiful and seem less scary, so if I were to get brave and give it a go, it would definitely be in Iceland! Pinned your post to refer back to when my bravery strikes!

  2. What an incredible experience! Horses are beautiful animals. I need to visit Iceland soon and meet them 😀

  3. I think the horses were one of my favorite parts of Iceland – I seriously came home with 1,000 pictures of their cute little faces and fuzzy bodies! I didn’t make it horse riding though, but obviously should have!

  4. I have this image of a giant viking warrior riding a tiny little horse. It would look something like Ed riding one of those guys, but a little more manly. (as manly as you can look riding a pony that looks like a gentle dog). Those guys are so super cute.

  5. Awe these horses are so darling, and I would so love to go to Iceland….a bit afraid of horse riding, especially the big guys!

  6. My daughter would love this. Maybe — so would I! There are new discount airfares to Iceland from Cincinnati and I plan to go SOON! I haven’t decided who I want to go with, but very often it’s my daughter. She has always loved horseback riding. It scares me, but in the right circumstances, I’ll do it. This seems like one of those circumstances.

  7. What a lovely experience! I only tried Icelandic horseback riding here in Denmark since they are also very popular here:)
    kind regards, Nana

  8. I love horses, and riding these special ones in Iceland sounds like a wonderful experience. I think their small size makes them even more appealing — they are pretty darned cute. I would definitely contact Viking Horses about booking a ride.

  9. Why are all horses in Iceland SO HANDSOME? They always have the best hair ever, seriously. I can relate with having a gluttonous horse haha. I tried horseback riding for the first time and he kept pulling over to munch on grass and bushes- was so scared I was gonna fall off!

  10. Those viking horses are so cute. I’m going in December but it will be so cold so I don’t think I’ll be riding any horses there…

  11. This must be a fun experience! I have done horseback riding a few times this year in Canada and Mexico. My horse always seem to have a big appetite and kept stopping along the way (and holding up the group lol). It is nice to know that the Viking horses react to verbal cues.

  12. They are so beautiful! I love that they treat their horses ethically and kindly – that is always super important to me. And it’s great that they provide waterproof gear for rainy days – such a smart touch!

  13. They are adorable! This is something I would want to do. Sorry no trips inside a volcano, I’ll be off riding the horses!
