One of the great things to do in Iceland is to try some Icelandic horse riding. The Icelandic horse is quite unique as it is smaller and has five gaits. The Icelandic horse is used for travelling, competition purposes, pleasure riding, and it still plays a practical role in the annual sheep and horse round-ups where farmers use horses to round up sheep and horses in the highlands.
There are a couple of tour operators in the Greater Reykjavik area. One of them is Ishestar. They have been doing this since 1982 and come highly recommended. It will take you about 20-25 minutes to drive there from Room With A View.
Ishestar have horse riding tours in three different categories: day tours, contryside tours and highland tours. And then there are many different kind in each categorie so you have plenty to choose from. They of course also offer riding lessons and more. All customers are provided with warm overalls, raingear, riding boots and helmets in all sizes.
At the Riding Center at Ishestar you will also find a large restaurant, bar and a gift shop.
