Information in English

Tryggvi Icelandic horsefarm is a family business located in Sandnes, closeby Stavanger, in Rogaland. The farm is the home of around 50 icelandic horses; 30 of them belongs to our riding school, and the rest is private owned horses renting stables.

We offer riding school Monday-Thursday during the school year, where we do our lessons both outside in the forest and inside our riding arena. Our riding school focuses on the unique gaits of Icelandic horses, and basic dressage riding.

You can read more about our riding school here.

During the weekends and school holidays we arrange guided riding tours for all levels of experience.

• All horse riding is managed by an experienced and qualified guide/instructor.

• Due to the size of icelandic horses, the weight limit for riding with us is 90 kg/200 lbs.

• All our tour guides speak English and will give you necessary information before the riding starts. Participants should also be able to communicate in basic English, or bring someone who can translate the information for them.

There are only 2 riders per lessons, which means you will be closely followed up with instructions during the lesson. You can either sign up with someone you want to share a lesson with, or we will pair you with someone at a similar experience level.
