Catalonia trails

The Icelandic horse are small but mighty! They are known for their surefootedness and gentle nature, and they are famous for the Tölt, a gait unique to the breed, which makes them incredibly comfortable over great distances and rugged terrain. Riding an Icelandic horse is an authentic experience you won’t forget. These horses are not only strong but also friendly and affectionate- they love a good cuddle!

Although the Icelandic horses are strong, there’s a weight limit of 95kg. Nevertheless, the weight limit may depend on the riding skills and experience of the rider.
