What to bring
- Warm clothes (long underwear, woollen socks, scarf, gloves)
- Sleepingbag and pillow
- A small waist bag (not a backpack!) for using when riding. (Backpacks are bumpy when you are riding and may hurt you if you fall off. Therefore we usually take them not on tour.)
- Swimwear and towel
- Riding pants (If you don’t have riding pants, any seamless tight garment will do)
- Riding or Hiking shoes (Shoes for riding should be comfortable with a thick sole when you have to walk over some rocks. High riding boots might get unconfortable after some days.)
- Sun lotion
- Band-aids and second skin plasters for chaffing
- Some comfortable clothes and shoes (slippers) for using in the evening, after the riding ( Normal street clothes are not necessary except for your stay in Reykjavik the last night)
- Your travel insurance card/information
Caution: Used boots, riding wear, saddlebags etc. must be disinfected before arrival in Iceland. This is because infectious diseases can easily be brought into the country, which pose a great danger for the horses. Riding wear is normally washed, and shoes are cleaned with iodine or some other fluid disinfectant. All used leather articles are prohibited.
