Interesting, I've never seen anyone getting on a horse from the right side.

This explains riding quite well for someone like me who doesn't really know how. This makes at least basic trail riding seem simple. I especially like that they dont lift off the horses to trot. I have only been riding once and being kind of scared just riding, I just couldn't "post " I also am short so a smaller horse seems like it would work for me. I just might find a nearby stable and start riding

We no longer wear swords on our left hips, so it is perfectly acceptable to be able to mount from either side.

I really like the comment about not saying "brrrr" to slow down a horse, this sound is done here in Sweden (I am from Iceland) and I cannot figure out how they manage to teach the horses to slow down to walk by this method, with such a high pitch and in a way "fast" sound. But of course you can teach horses anything by praising them and giving them slack when they do the correct thing, so horses in Sweden have learned this, but using a slow and extended "woah" is easier as the horse has to learn nothing, he figures instantly that this is a calming sound so he should go to a slower rythm.

Was fortunate to ride at this school about 5 years ago when on holiday in Iceland. Had a lovely little grey horse called Falky who was an absolute joy to ride, even managed to sample the tolt. Great experience that I will never forget.

Great video! Today is my first ride on an Icelandic horse and I can't wait!

Thank you very much. I been looking for information on riding Icelandic horse after much looking I found this video it is what I was looking for, thinking about getting a small size horse, I am 71 yr so want a easy going horse that can handle my weight I am 180 lbs, so far it seems to be between the Icelandic and the Haflinger . I have very little riding experience and that was over 40 years ago.

I think I would need a taller horse. My legs are so long, that I could sit on one and help him walk.

Beautiful

Gorgeous horses and beautiful country.

I ride Icelandic horses every week I love it but I also ride other breeds but I truly love there tolt

Ég hata ikur

I would like to find the rythym with Ishestar

Rode here way back in June of 2001, great memory! Tho' I wasn't experienced enough with that type of riding---I'd been riding strictly single-handed reining (western) since 1980--and also had put on 30 pounds since the last time i'd ridden regularly, so had to switch to a shorter ride, alas...but the folks there were very kind, and I had one of the best rides of my life...I also took home a horseshoe for my garden and a tee shirt, proudly wore the shirt until it got all worn and holey and finally fell apart, haha

Doing this in January can’t wait!!!

It has a mater which side you com up

i like you n love you

Don't worry, I rode an icelandic horse and it doesn't harm its body. it just gives them a little signal to start moving and its better to kick gently with heels so the horse wouldn't get confused to you telling it to go faster. I'm not a know it all, but im just saying from my experience

There Horses have a blankets under saddle? (sory for my English, im from Poland)

arguments for mounting on both sides: 1. horse gets used to different situations which is always best 2. healthier for the back, your weight always tugging the spine to the left when mounting is bad 3. it wears out both stirrups equally, so you don't end up with one noodly long stirrup 4. trains you to be able to use both legs for mounting arguments for mounting only on the left: 1. my teacher told me so and she is ALWAYS RIGHT 2. my sword, aaaaaaargh, I stabbed myself because I mounted on the wrong side, damn you youtube commenters who told me it would be okay!!!!!! *shaking fist at the heavens*

Interesting, In Icland you mount the horse from left or righte, In England it is written on stone that you will mount from the left, The flimsy excuse is not too get your sword scabbed tangled under your leg, Even if you do not have a sword. Hester Ridding Enska Fiskaman.

First of all, wear a islandic sweater! Then you may go ^^,

Why is she not riding with a saddle pad and she is mounting the wrong side

0:50 BUT IT'S THE WRONG SIDE

Icelandic women are so naturally beautiful!

so i see many people are complaining about how the horses head being down and how the rider sits differently. icelandic people ride a bit different then other riders as we onlu have the Icelandic breed and they are different. if you guys dont like the ridinh here then look at icelandic horse riding shows. there are expert riders and Icelandic riders would never ever hurt their horses as they are very protective towards animals. anything that involves with animal abuse they step in and try to save the animal. icelandic horses (and other animals) are taken very very great care of. i have never seen a rider in Iceland that abused or hurt their horse on purpose (everyone can get hurt accidentally) we let them be free in summers and we do all kinds of lessons to learn the right way to ride them. im not a professional rider as im only a bit young and dont know everything about Icelandic riding. but I know that we would never hurt our horses and animals. i own three icelandic horses and i live in iceland and i ride in a safe way and i usually go on bareback. bits are used often but we learn to use them softly. the horses do the head lowering themselves (im tho not sure how because Ive never seen my mare do it). voila (if im wrong in any way then im very sorry)

Amazing country and horses. Thank you Ishestar Riding Tours for your work.

Do you know what your problem is? People who can afford your cool rides are usually not experienced enough. People who are experienced enough have gained that experience by spending all their money on horses at home, thus cannot afford the cool rides anymore. (The horse in the image is one of yours, and it's partially responsible for my not being able to afford you anymore. :)

Many thanks and appreciation to the horse trainer

very very nice Iceland

I love many horses how can I visit Iceland

Great place, very quiet, stability and reassurance I love it so much

very very nice Icelandic

Had such an amazing time with your riding tour 4 years ago. Love the videos

we didnt see the tolt

great video, and beautiful horses (: the only thing I worry about, is the noseband..(?) it looks too far down, pressing down on the soft part of the nose, and can block the airway.

"take it slow" 5:35 poor horse

i love you guys

icelandic horses are literally the most gorgeous things ever

You just sold a couple of tours. Maybe we can save up...

That was a great video. Who's that lady? I did not understand her name. Her video makes me want to visit Iceland and learn how to ride Icelandic horses!!!!
