Hey Liana! I’m so sorry but I’m afraid I have to admit that six years on, my memory is failing me! I can’t quite remember any details past what I wrote here… my apologies! Let me know what you find though 🙂

You mentioned in your post that there are a lot of family farms along the road offering horse backing riding. Are these a fairly common sight? As a planner, I would rather pre-plan an excursion but I would also prefer helping out a local business too and maybe save a buck. Any insight would be great! No other blog has mentioned this so I am very intrigued as we are leaving for our trip in just about a month.

Interesting insight! They do have pretty cute little statures 🙂

It was interesting to learn about the ban on horses reentering the country. In a way it’s sad, but due to their funny builds I doubt they’d be able to enter any competitions. These horses are made for trail riding and they’re great at it, and apparently very happy. Heh, I’m actually even a bit jealous.

They said that they didn’t want us to be distracted from riding the horse, so I know that really it was for our own safety. But when can I say… I’m a rule breaker!

The horses look so different. Then Iceland looks very different o what I imaged too. I didn’t expect to see so much greenery.

Did they tell you why they didn’t want you to take photo’s?

I can really relate to the Mum angle too. My mum has always been the same as soon as her feet leave solid ground. Boats are the most amusing events! 😉

Shanna they are all over Iceland! If you go for a drive in almost any direction I bet you’ll find some friendly horses hanging out just waiting to say hi!

Thanks you two! I have been super skittish about doing anything like this since I know absolutely nothing about horses, so thanks for the tips! If I can’t convince my husband to ride with me, I’ll at least have to drag him out to let me say ‘hi’ to the ponies. These guys are ridiculously adorable.
