The horses are in the fields happy grazing and all the sheep are home sound and save.  The Hekluhestar family is now planning the riding tours for 2012. We will offer the 6 and the 8 days, also the summer night rides. People are also always welcome to contact us with special request.

The sheep round up was last week and yesterday the farmers were collecting their sheep. It was really a nice day, people and sheep are happy.

The horse riding tours are finished this year but we are already looking forward to next year. We have a good feeling about it. Now we are going to start to train the young horses and that is always fun.

The eight day ride from the 1th of August to the 8th of August was great! The atmosphere was fantastic and there was a lot of joy.

Now the last riding tour of the season is starting, a 6 day ride. It is sad that the season is almost finished, we met so many wonderful people, the weather was good and the horses did a great job. We are already looking forward the riding tours next summer!

We came home from a 8 day riding tour in the Fjallabak area on Monday. A Huge thank you to all of our guest that made the riding tour so special.

We have been on two 6 day riding tours. Both groups were great, so positive and fantastic people. The weather has been very nice and the horse are in good shape. Tomorrow we are going for the first 8 day riding tour and we are looking forward to that. The Hekluhestar family want to send a HUGE Thank you to all of our guests who have all been so nice and the atmosphere has been so great.

This is the first summer that Hekluhestar family offers a summer night ride. We have been out now few nights and it is amazing, riding in the bright night. We want to thank our guests so much for experiencing the night with us and our horses.

The firs foal at the farm is born! The family of Hekluhestar is so happy about it. The mother and the foal are doing well. We are now getting the horses ready for the riding tours. We are looking forward going back to the mountains.

The first babies are born at the Hekluhestar farm! Two lambs got born last night and five Icelandic sheepdog puppies who are one week old. We are looking forward to the birth of the foals.

We are working with our young horses, they are from the age 4 to 6 years old. They are doing so well and we are looking so much forward to work with them on the riding tours this summer. We have been working with them on the gaits and they have started to tölt really nicely. It will also be fantastic to see how the older horses will welcome them in the group on the horse riding tours this summer but we are sure they will have nice welcoming, as many of them are related and know each other.
