HORSE ROUND UP
7 DAYS - ICELANDIC TRADITIONS ON HORSE BACK
During the end of September the young free running horses are rounded up from the mountain Vatnsnesfjall, district of Vesturhóp in the Northwest of Iceland, to a fold and sorted out by the owners. This is one of the traditional local events. We offer you to join actively and experience this event on horseback for a small group. Great autumn colours and traditional farm life!
