Tack
The tack used for Icelandic horses is slightly different then the tack ordinarily used for other breeds. The saddle is built close to a dressage saddle and has a relatively flat seat. Saddles come with plain or quilted seats. On longer rides a crupper helps keeping the saddle in place. Riding style used on Icelandic horses is close to English riding style, but stirrups are worn long.
Bits used are mostly simple snaffles. Bridles have a detachable noseband and clip on reins.

Testimonials
Dear Ishestar Staff, we are just writing to say thank you very much for the Lava Tour session that we came to on December 6th. Although I had very little riding experience before, the staff was very kind and the horses were very patient and docile, and Tom and I both enjoyed the tour a great deal. Please say hello and thank you to the horses we rode, “Strákur” and “Orri”, when you next see them. Best Wishes and Happy Christmas, Helen and Tom
