Due to their isolation, Icelandic horses are vulnerable to diseases being brought in by visitors from other countries so we would like to remind everyone of these important rules to help protect them 🐴💕 A current outbreak of EHV-1 in the USA means we ask visitors to be extra careful about the possibility of transmission! ⚠️
We provide helmets and tack/equipment for the horses, and encourage riders to wear practical, comfortable (waterproof!) clothing and hiking boots or trainers.

Now it’s December many of us are thinking about holidays 🎄 and just like humans, horses deserve some down time! We run tours all year round, but want to keep our horses happy 💕 so they take turns to go to a nearby farm for their vacations.
We own about 50 horses in total and they are looking extra cute at the moment in their fluffy winter coats - so if you’re in Iceland soon then book a tour with us to come and meet some of them! www.vikhorseadventure.is

Winter is on its way ❄ So if you’re joining us for a tour, be sure to wrap up warmly with a waterproof layer on top! It’s also a good idea to check weather and driving conditions each day (https://safetravel.is/conditions), as we can have some wild conditions through the winter months - but you can always be sure of a warm welcome from our horses, guides, and maybe even Pumba the stable cat 😻
