We offer rides from 1 to 2.5 hours in small groups of up to 4 persons. The riding tempo is adjusted to suit the level of the riders. Icelandic Horses are small but they are very strong and can easily carry even

We are very sad to announce that Hjalli and Tinna had to be retired unexpectedly at the end of last year due to tendon issues. They both took many riders on our treks, Tinna for the past 10 years and Hjalli was one of the four foundation horses of this business serving us since 2012! They are leaving a big gap in our four-legged crew and we really miss these reliable horses.
Thank you so much Mel and Alan from for taking them on. I know they will be very well looked after and loved by you and all the kids❤️
Wishing you all a wonderful Xmas and holiday season!
Thanks for all your support and interest over the year.
These are the young geldings greeting us when we come back from our rides🥰

Another wonderful week, this time with Hekluhestar in the south of Iceland. This time we weren’t so lucky with the weather but the stunning scenery of the highlands along with riding excellent horses within the free running herd and in the company of lovely people made for an unforgettable experience.
Thank you very much for taking me along for the ride!
Looking forward to riding my own horses again but if you ever get the chance to experience the real deal in Iceland I can highly recommend it❤️

A big shoutout to the team at Pólar Hestar. I had an amazing week of true Icelandic horse riding with a free running herd. Excellent horses which are incredibly fit, fast, comfortable and responsive. The company is family run since 40 years and most of their clients are returning for many years. Super friendly and well organised. And the best weather (almost too hot!) to top it off😎
Thank you so much!
