The landscape is breathtaking, and will make you want to return again and again. In September you have a unique possibility to join the traditional horse round up in Unadalur,<\/em> and in February you can combine riding in a winter wonderland with visits to different breeding farms, when the horses are home from the valleys.<\/p>\n For the last 30 years J\u00f3hann have been working spring and autumn in Sweden, where he is a very popular riding instructor, with fully booked courses all over the southern parts of the country.<\/p>\n Over the years we have bred and raised many horses that have been sold on to happy owners in Iceland and in Sweden.
