The experience

About this tour

Have a charming rendezvous with one of our horses. This private tour gives you the chance to have a close encounter with the soft natured animal without the duty of going on a longer ride. Take your time to brush the horse, give some treats, make friends and if you dare, we saddle the horse and lead you around the area Vindheimamelar to get the feeling of freedom when you are on horseback.

Age Limit: from 2 -110 years. Young children and people with handicap (depending on the degree of disability) bring ideally an accompanying person.
