The sun doesn't set at all during summer time in Lapland.

Spend a summer day in the company of Icelandic horses! The horses are small, cute and charming, yet strong, tough and sure-footed.

Icelandic horses are often mentioned in Icelandic sagas; in days gone by, they were used as Vikings' warhorses, and were greatly respected.

Icelandic horses have five gaits: walk, trot, canter, pace and a special one called 'tölt'. 'Tölt' is a pleasant gait, where the rider sits as if in an armchair. Above all, this is something that must be experienced.

No previous experience is required for the trek, as our good-natured, gentle horses can also take beginners safely on their backs into the forest or on the fells.
