their first sprints across the land. 

The ride continues to Arnabæli farm where we have a possibility to set up a lovely lunch outside and where the customer is given an opportunity to take pictures of the breathtaking scenery of central

Day 3 
We saddle up and take off in Kolvidarholl where the riding initiates through open lava field area until we reach a 25-year-old 
gas station on the mountain, up there we take a short coffee break. 

After exploration, we continue our riding journey 
through lava field all the way until we come across The Raudholar, unique natural phenomena of red lava hills on the 
south-eastern outskirts of Reykjavik. The pseudo craters were formed when molten magma ran over wetlands about 5000 
years ago. 

The diverse red color of the rocks is due to oxidation, which is similar to the rusting of metal. After the 
riding through stunning red lava formations, we head back to the new stable of Solhestar, which is situated right next to 
the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik. The last day ride is estimated to be approximately 22km long, which is a total duration
