Ride through the otherworldly Rauðhólar lava field with local couple Begga and Sveinn, who share their deep love for Iceland’s most treasured animal. These small-group tours skip the touristy line-up and let you ride side-by-side while learning about the horse’s unique history and unique gait, tölt. It’s slow travel, with heart — and hooves.
