'IF YOU FALL, FOLLOW THE TRACKS' Herding wild horses

For the amazing giveaway, head over to my Instagram, links below!
I have been waiting to share this one for a while, and now finally it's time to show my experience of herding a group of Icelandic horses in their untamed natural habitat.
This is no touristy trail ride; it's an authentic equestrian experience led by the legendary Mister Iceland. Known for his unparalleled understanding of horses and horsemanship, Mister Iceland takes us beyond the ordinary. You'll feel like a fundamental part of the process, deeply connected to the horses and the wild beauty of Iceland.
Our journey isn't without its challenges; the horses escaped at the start, the herd got split up, and I faced more nerves than anticipated. But what's an adventure without a bit of risk? The rugged Icelandic terrain is both breathtaking and unforgiving, and falling off could mean being stranded.
Yet, the connection I formed with the horses, some experienced and some wild, was unlike anything I've experienced before. Witness their incredible ability to navigate this harsh environment and forge an unbreakable bond with the two I rode.
This video isn't for the faint of heart. It's a story of risk, rush, and euphoria. It's a testament to the power of horses and the beauty of nature.
Are you ready to ride with us into the wild heart of Iceland? Hit that play button, and let's embark on an unforgettable adventure together!

Thank you so much everyone who watched the premier live me me, I hope you enjoyed watching!

[@Heatherslover127]

I joined right at the end 😂

[@colleenw8756]

Could you ever have imagined what becoming an influencer would lead too. I LOVED this vlog. Hordur is fantastic. Keep your vlogs coming. Anything. I've watched it twice already.

[@EquineEventerOfficial]

I loved it ❤

[@Heatherslover127]

And loved it !

[@Bella-dy7iw]

I loved it I watched the premiere so I’m watching it again

[@andreamurison7225]

What a great vlog - and kudos to Pete's cinematography! For the next installment of the series, can Mr. Iceland come visit you in England for training and jumping? That would be EPIC.

[@elphick.event.ponies]

That would be so much fun! Glad you enjoyed

[@barryandjackypowell8239]

Thoroughly enjoyed your ride with the wild horses. Were I 50 years younger Meg, I would jump at the opportunity to do the same. Sadly a bit too old now! I live vicariously through the younger generstion!

[@ooOxeniaOoo]

@@barryandjackypowell8239 If just been to iceland and the oldest people of our group where 75!

[@elphick_eq]

No more being scared out xc megan ! You survived the most terrifing horseback experience out there , in the pouring rain ! A little BE100 is nothing anymore ❤

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Literally 😂

[@elphick_eq]

@@elphick.event.ponies there you go girl ! Btw you did so good at Frickley ! Congrats 👏❤️

[@janl8683]

Loved the vlog, Pete is doing amazing filming. He captured the majestic wildness of the landscape and the horses ❤ Great vibes between you and Mistericeland! 😂

[@sheblyne]

How much fun was that! I loved how the horse's shoes gleamed as they galloped along that black volcanic dirt. You and Hodur are hilarious together. And of course, the amazing cinematography by Pete! It could not get any better! Thank you for brining this to us Princess Meg.

[@karenboezio254]

What an incredible video! Mr Iceland has a wicked sense of humour by the sound of things😂

[@anniecampbell8554]

It looks better than a roller coaster at a fun fare - which lots of people think is scary. Real life vs pretend real life!! Well done Meg and thanks to the Mr Iceland and team (and Peter, of course) for helping us understand the joy of free range horses (and riding)!!

[@oscillatewildly666]

I enjoyed every second of this video, but how glad I was to be in a nice warm dry house and not in an icelandic rainstorm! The landscapes and the horses are gorgeous, it must've been amazing to disconnect like that for a while and be so in touch with nature and the animals and the earth.. The dream. Well done Meg :)

[@petradegroot3578]

I have goosebumps, this was so amazing to watch! Wow😄

[@aliceanimals]

Loved this Meg!!! Me and my mum were watching it while making dinner!🩷

[@thepansthisthatandtheother7766]

OMG!!!!!!!! THAT WAS EPIC!!!!!!!! If I were much, much younger and in my youth, I'd definitely do the herding and rain does not bother me. I love it!

[@jelphick4686]

I'd love to do it but feel that I'd need a much more sedate ride, maybe they could do one for us older riders 🙂

[@thepansthisthatandtheother7766]

Dittos!!!! Saw Meg this morning in my latest edition of Field Magazine (August). Thrilled & congrats to her.@@jelphick4686

[@tracymckerchar9037]

Best experience ever. To run in the herd like that! Epic. 😊

[@xaviorshideout]

That is absolutely incredible! I love the chaotic energy of your tour guides throughout this entire video! Such a wonderfeel feeling to run with the herd...😍🥰 Pete's phootage is incredible, his talent has really excelled! Loved this video xx

[@xaviorshideout]

Your tour guide (who's name I won't even dare try to write) He's so silly I love his humour! Can't wait to watch this😅🤩

[@margaretmetcalfe9380]

what a fabulous looking country and the ponies are gorgeous.

[@biggothepiggo]

Now, thanks to you, Meg, if we sign up for that, we know what we are getting into. And I totally want to sign up! Looks insane, but so worth it. Glad that the comedy duo of Hadur and Meg was reunited. Your material is great! And Pete, who I think has a natural gift for cinematography, is killing it with his gorgeous footage, here and everywhere!

[@plumbfia5436]

I was taught to ride during a time in South Africa when we would often find ourselves several hours away from home, galloping and swimming our horses and climbing slime dumps etc.. (and no cell phones) you learn very early on to never let go of your reins when you fall off. If you did let go, it was going to be a long walk home not to mention the danger to your horse going all the way home by itself, through barb wire fencing and crossing busy roads etc....To this day, it does not matter how or why I fall off, I never let go of my reins!

[@ihay472]

This looked like so much fun. I love seeing you so completely out of your comfort zone!

[@KellyAnn1997]

So much fun. Would love to visit!!!!

[@thebravingitequestrian]

Loving the sass & banter from Mister Iceland 😂

[@gillianlillis1984]

Surprised to see the horses are all shod despite being semi wild, why is that? Do they not lose shoes in the wet ground? Great video xx

[@PoppyCollins-ce7fh]

Wild horses and every horse is wearing shoes (Hufeisen)? 😉

[@Charbified]

They mean wild as in loose horses. If I'm remembering correctly there are very few "wild" horses in Iceland, but that doesn't mean that they're all handled/trained. But I think these are used for tours.
