Report
We seek to offer only high-quality horses, both domestic and imported suited to the individual buyer, and to increase awareness of the special qualities unique to the Icelandic Horse. They have excellent characters, are easy to work with and very well gaited. This is a very important consideration in the US, where there are few trainers experienced and skilled in training Icelandic horses for the average rider to work with, train, and enjoy.
Trail Rides
Report
There is probably no better introduction to the remarkable Icelandic Horse than our daily trail rides. We'll match a horse to your level of experience, and we'll travel at a pace that suits you so that you can experience the horse's gentle temperament and smooth gaits. You won't believe how much action is possible underneath you while you feel the sensation, as Icelanders describe it, of "riding in an easy chair."
Treks
Report
On our treks, you will really experience the exceptional riding comfort and stamina of the Icelandic Horse. You'll pass across beautiful meadows, over sparkling streams, and through lush woods, and be able to explore many of the features of the mountainous Mad River Valley. Our tours offer plenty of opportunity to rejuvenate, ride and relax.
