OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND.

Horse tours are our passion in life:

• Our life is horse tours.  It’s been our passion, all our life.
• To go out in the nature and be a team with the horse.
• To have a personal experience with people and horses.
• To see the beautiful places, and sometimes tough landscape, that molded our beloved Icelandic horse.
• To have the companionship of other horse lovers, and travel lovers.
• To just live and breathe the fresh air in the nature, and feel the rhythm of life.  To enjoy a life of mindfulness.
• We start doing the horse tours in 2011, but Langhus has always been a horse farm, and our children are the 5. generation of the same family on the farm.
• The farm, and the name of the farm, is at least 800 years old.  We have deep roots here.

Our small family farm tour operation is totally different from the mass market horse tour operations: 

• We emphasize on a personal experience and small groups.
• The very small group sizes allows good levels of dialogue along the way.
• We offer guided horse tours with one of us, the local farmers at Langhus farm, or our our skilled and knowledgeable staff.
• We have well trained very experienced horses, steady and obedient, they are our family- and riding horses.  They’re excellent examples of the breed, with good behavior and good tölt / gaits.
• We take the time to match you with the right horse for you.
• We start with a free/bonus preparation introduction / lesson on how to ride these horses, so you can enjoy the tour better.  That is helpful, fun and wonderful, both for beginners and experienced riders.
• We keep this on a personal level, so people can see the Icelandic nature, the background of the horses and what made them what they are (the sometimes harsh and sometimes wonderful nature, the breeding, the people and the culture), get to know excellent horses and visit a true Icelandic family horse farm on the real countryside.
• Our niche is creating unique, intimate, authentic experiences, off the beaten path.
• Small groups:  The open departure/mixed client groups are generally small, a common number of tourists is 4-6 tourists in the mixed group.  Even the small groups tours have at least 2 guides.
• If your own group is bigger, we do have around 25 steady horses for our clients, but then we wouldn’t mix that group with other groups, we don’t feel that is the best way to do things.  Also, the bigger the group, the more guides go with the group, for safety and for providing a personal experience for everyone.
• The guides on the farm talk a variety of languages, it is though a bit seasonal, feel free to get in touch if one of you prefer a guide speaking another language than English.  For example a German speaking guide, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic or other language?
• We also specialize in private horse tours, and exclusive clients, and have done so since 2016, so our experience in giving exclusive clients excellent tours is outstanding.
• On our website you also find other add-on experiences, like the:  Geothermal mineral bath.  The all-you-can-eat waffle lunch .
• We have options for small children, handicapped people, or others with special needs.  For example the indoor Family time tours, which are absolutely unique and not done by other horse tour places in Iceland (no child is too young for that tour, and no-one is too handicapped, old or heavy for that tour).  It’s a wonderful cozy time with our friendly Icelandic horses.
• If you have small children (4 years or more), and dream about an outdoors trail ride, we have options that might work out for you, feel free to be in touch and see what choices might be good for you.
• We also have The farm visits, that are superb and very fun programs for big groups, a fun experience on the farm (without trail riding). Great for a travel agent looking for a horse show for their big group of tourists.  Various variations available, get in touch and we do a fun experience for your clients.
• We focus on delivering the highest quality experience for our clients, which is why Bookings are done through our contact form on the website, or email, so we can share details with each other to create your personal experience.
• Join us as we share what is unique about our horse and Iceland.

• We prioritize animal welfare in every way.
• The horses are our friends, they are happy, well taken care of, and live a fulfilled life.
• They are of the breed The Icelandic horse, the horses the Viking settlers brought to Iceland a thousand years ago.
• No horse goes on more than one tour per day, not even in high season.
• All horses get at least 3 months holiday every year.
• In the seasons when they’re working, all horses get at least 1-2 days totally off every week (also in high season).  We prefer being fully booked on a particular day, rather than over working the horses.
• They live a natural life out in huge pastures with many friends.
• Kindness is a priority in all the training.
• When retired, they live in a herd with youngsters, broodmares and retired horses.

• Thorough recycling program according to EU standards, we take care to recycle everything possible (which is virtually everything) on our farm.
• We offset the fossil fuel used on the farm, through planting trees.
• We protect birdlife in every way on our farm, plus bettering their environment by tree planting.
• Care taken to not destroy nature habitat through any of our actions, on our land or elsewhere.
• Litter picked up in nature, on our land and in our neighborhood.
• All heating is done with the renewable geothermal energy from the Dæli hot spring on our farm.
• All electricity is produced with renewable hydro-power.
• Environmentally friendly cleaning products, with eco-labels if available.  Allergy friendly soaps, shampoo etc.
• Eco-friendly sewage system.
• Local food bought when available.
• We produce a lot of our own food.
