About UsLooking for a ridingtour in Iceland? Take a look at this website and see if we can give you the riding holiday you dream of.
Over 200 years ago, our family settled down on this land of lava and has lived here for generations. In fact, the word "Hraunkot" means "a small house in the lava". Somehow, our forefathers found a way to culture the land and explore the resources while keeping the wild Icelandic nature. Here on the farm Hraunkot, we can offer you horseback riding and a studio apartent for rent. Our aim is to let you experience Iceland in a natural way, just as generations before us have done. You will find more information about horseback riding in the top menu. We hope to see you during the summer! Tora Katinka Bergeng og Kolbeinn Kjartansson |
Who We Are |
Lava Horses is a family driven company. Our family of four welcomes you and takes you out riding in our beautiful landscape. Tora Katinka, our main guide and director, was born in Norway and moved to Iceland in 2003. Being from another country she saw the farm and its land with a tourist's eyes and realized that Hraunkot was a nature pearl that other people should be able to experience.

Our History |
We have always had horses on our farm. In the past, they were working horses - used to pull the plow and cut the grass, as well as gathering the sheep in the autumn, which we still use them for. The horse rental opened in 2010 with 6 horses but we slowly grew and today we have 28 horses, most of whom are bred and trained by ourselves.
