Horseback riding

Person on horseback

I went horseback riding out in the Skagafjordur countryside. It was a cold day! This picture was taken just as we started out and by the end of our ride (a couple of hours later), the ground was covered in snow. It often gets cleared by the wind between snowfalls. The Icelandic horses are smallish and wide and amazingly sure on their feet. Going through mud, across ice, through streams and over frozen fields without a misstep.
