Iceland
From hot pots to horse drives, we experience the smooth gait of the Icelandic horses on rides with farmers and an Icelandic champion rider, traveling to lava fields, lakes and waterfalls. Riding through the varied landscapes of Iceland is truly an otherworldly experience. We begin our journey with a short lesson in how to ride the small, but mighty Icelandic horse, before trekking on horseback through the lava fields and over the diverse terrain that the Icelandic horse is bred to conquer. Viewers learn about the history and personality of this intelligent, good-natured horse, upon which Icelanders have depended throughout history. We explore the special five gaits that these pure-bred Viking Horses can master, including the smooth, glide of the tolt. Traveling with local farmers, we take a traditional, fast-paced horse drive, as we drive a herd of fifty horses to Gullfoss, Iceland's "Golden Waterfalls." Next, we ride through a stunning area of deep red pseudocraters that are more than 4600 years old with Iceland's most famous rider, nicknamed Diddi or the Golden Rider. Finally, we check out the thriving nightlife in colorful, downtown Reykjavik. Rich history and wonderful culture are all part of the adventures in Iceland, the Pearl of the North.
