This morning, after a hearty buffet breakfast, we explored the stables and met our horses. When we were assigned our horses, we received a card with a photo of our mount and its main characteristics (blaze, white markings, etc.). Our task was to find them in the respective paddocks for the geldings and mares. We were, of course, supervised during this treasure hunt.
Intermediate and advanced riders: Kirkeby Plantations, riding time 2 or 3 hours
Depending on your level, we'll set off on an initial ride through the Kirkeby plantations (2 hours for intermediate riders, and 3 hours for advanced riders), during which we'll assess our riding ability and get acquainted with our mount. We'll discover the tölt, this unique and very comfortable natural gait of Icelandic horses.
We wander along paths through the plantations and, with a bit of luck, spot some of the many deer that live there. We admire the landscapes of Romo Island from the summit of Peak Mountain before returning to the center.
Beginner riders: Riding lesson, duration on horseback 1 hour
We get acquainted with our gentle horses, all of which are suitable for beginners. We take our first riding lesson in the arena to build confidence with our mounts and are introduced to the tölt, this particular and very comfortable natural gait of Icelandic horses.
Lunch and afternoon at leisure.
In the evening, we can gather around a bonfire.
