Iceland on Horseback - Horse Roundup
6 days - Oct - From US $ 1,363

Imagine free and spirited horses coming down from their highland summer pastures toward the inhabited areas of Iceland, returning to their owners. Imagine riding the majestic Icelandic horse in its native land as you round up these beautiful animals making their way through rough territory, not yet willing to give up their freedom before winter returns. Join in this great adventure of the autumn and participate in driving the herd, sorting the horses, and celebrating the successful return of horses and men. Ride along through beautiful and lush land, taking in the scenery as you revel in the crisp, pristine fall air.

This trip, though, is not all about work. Your sure-footed mount will allow you the ability to appreciate the rugged mountains that rise in the distance in stark contrast to the vegetation that is tinted the striking colors of fall. The power and beauty of the horses surrounds you as you marvel at the view to the valley below and wonder at the beauty of the landscape--it is a round-up experience only Iceland can offer.
