See what it's like by watching our Iceland Travel Videos by Darley Newman Iceland is called the "land of fire and ice," where volcanoes, geysers, and nature rule supreme.

Tolting is fun... once you've learned how to do it! By Darley Newman To start my Iceland riding adventure, I first wanted a lesson in how exactly to get these furry Icelandic horses to tölt. Our crew headed to a riding ceter and tour operator right outside of Reykjavik. My instructor Einar had a fun time watching me break to a trot during our learning session. I rode a horse who name means Black Beauty in English, who was a good tolter, but whose trot was insanely jarring. It was all the more reason to stay in the tolt. The tolt, a four beat gait, similar to the running walk, is a smooth gait. After a few spins in the ring, Einar took me out for a ride through lava fields and by a nearby lake, where there was an area of trees. I was doing pretty well in the tölt out on the trails and really enjoying it.

Ride Icelandics in the Land of Fire and Ice, which comes in at #5 in our Top 10 Countdown. by Darley Newman Iceland is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, just South of the Artic Circle.

Called the land of fire and ice, Iceland is home to spewing geysers, roaring waterfalls, giant glaciers and pure nature with all of its beautiful fury. I've ridden in Icleand twice, loving the smooth tolt of the Icelandic horses. Icelandic horses may be prized for their stamina, but their physical appearance also draws attention. Icelandics’ coats come in a myriad of colors- chestnut, brown, bay, palomino, grey and on and on. Big, bushy manes exude from their compact, muscular bodies. It is traveling through these landscapes that one can begin to understand how the Icelandic horse developed the strong and versatile attributes, for which it is so prized today and how the Icelandic people needed these horses to survive.
