Vindur has this beautiful color vindótt and his name means the wind. Jon gave his grandchild Vindur and they have become best friends. Anthony his owner has been so kind to let Vindur come with us in the riding tours.

Vikingur and Gusta. Vikingur is over 20 years old, he is a true Viking and legend in the riding tours. He is part of Hekluhestar history. Gusta is a graceful mare, but sometimes she is a bit clumsy. She is adorable and it is hard not to fall in love with her.

Snætoppur, o Snætoppur, he is so special. He is the first horse Anita ever trained. He is very independent and has smooth gaites. He doesn’t like to be the one in the back, he wants to be first!
