Horseback riding in the Nordics is a unique opportunity to experience some of the world’s most captivating and distinctive horse breeds.

Scandinavian breeds like the Fjord horses, known for their longevity and gentle disposition, create a charming atmosphere for riders and guides.
Whether you’re horseback riding in Iceland, Sweden, Finland, or beyond, you’ll get to take in the awe-inspiring scenery, traversing volcanoes, black sand beaches, dense summertime forests, and the remote Arctic tundra. Untouched but for the sound of clip-clopping hooves, ride in the great wilderness on one of our trusted providers’ tours.

Are you a seasoned equestrian, novice, or somewhere in between? Our providers’ tours cater to riders of all skill levels. You’re in good hands and hooves!
Culturally rich horse tours deepen visitors’ understanding of local traditions. As you explore, your guide will share the deep connection between Nordic cultures and their most useful servant. Riding is more than an outdoor experience: it’s an immersive look into a storied culture.
Best Time to Go Horseback Riding in the Nordics
Summer (June–August):
Summer is ideal for extended trail rides if you appreciate milder temperatures, lush green landscapes, and longer daylight hours under the Midnight Sun.
Autumn (September–November):
As September rolls in, a vibrant autumn offers more serene rides through vivid forests with fewer crowds. Crisp air on the back of a horse? We’re in!
Winter (December–March):
Winter transforms the Nordics into a glimmering wonderland. Snow-covered trails frame the way for a peaceful jaunt—made even better by the chance to see the Northern Lights.
Spring (April–May):
The melting snow of a fleeting spring brings blooming landscapes and refreshing horseriding conditions.
Imagine yourself on the back of a friendly steed strolling along an award-winning black sand beach on the coast of Iceland. A year-round activity, riding Icelandic horses is suitable whether it’s your first or third rodeo. While the horses are smaller in stature, don’t call them ponies. These easygoing equines ride along farm trails toward troll-bathing waterfalls and wind into rich valleys. You’ll find beauty no matter where you look on the back of an Icelandic horse!
How about an equine-led moose safari with a group of intrepid travelers? If you’re curious about horseback riding, Sweden is the perfect place to put a pin on your map. Riding increases your chances of seeing the elusive moose in their natural habitat—with the safety of a noble steed.
Ah, peace of mind in nature. Trot in a winter wonderland through snowy Finnish forests and along the mesmerizing frozen lake of Pyhäjärvi. You’ll receive focused attention due to noticeably smaller group sizes—and extra bonding time with your horse friend.

Tips for an Unforgettable Horseback Tour
Dress for the Weather:
We all know the saying—there’s no bad weather, only bad clothing. Still, don’t dare the Norse gods to prove you wrong. Wear layered, weatherproof clothing to stay comfortable as temperatures shift mid-ride. Sturdy boots and a riding cap will keep you secure in the saddle.
Bring a Camera:
Ever wanted to snap a picture on horseback? Pack your most trusted camera to capture the magic—whether it’s the quiet, snowy Arctic tundra or vibrant summer forests bursting with wild berries.
Listen to Your Guide:
Your professional guides have your back. They’ll handle the technical stuff and help you feel confident, so you can focus on the ride.
Respect Nature:
Stick to the common adventure rule: leave every place better than you found it. Ride with respect for the raw Nordic landscape—you’ll walk away with lasting memories and maybe a few karma points too.
