I hate giving bad reviews, however, I feel it is necessary. We booked with Stable Stop before the pandemic. Like everyone, we were forced to cancel our plans because of the travel restrictions. I asked Anna for a refund, she said she couldn’t figure out how to do it. I suggest giving us a credit for future use for the following October (not knowing if they were in financial difficulties because of the pandemic). She agreed to this option. When October came, Iceland’s border were still closed. I asked for a refund at this time. She just ignored my several emails. I reached out to her again in July 2021 to use our arranged credit because we had an up coming trip in early August 2021, but she ignored my emails again. I tried to be sensitive not know if they were facing hardship, but she just completely refused to communicate with me. If you have booked with Stable Stop and you think you might need a refund, get it in writing or dispute the charge with your credit card company. I wish I had disputed the credit card charge, but I trusted Anna at her word…that was a mistake. I really wish things were handled differently. Buyer beware. If you want a wonderful Icelandic horse experience try Polar Hestar (ask for Selena) or Lava Horses. Sadly, Stable Stop was the only company we had negative experience with. All other vendors gave us a credit and we rebooked with all of them.

I had a great night / day with the lovely Malmquist family. The house is warm and immaculately clean. The setting is simply magnificent. The house is bordered by mountains and the calm of nature is very soothing. I went on a horse ride the next day, the horses are soft and well tamed. A very pleasant afternoon. I recommend !

I just stopped at the Ytri-Bægisá farm for a horseback ride. It is located directly at road number 1 and really easy to reach.
They gave me a really nice Icelandichorse and take me to the nature. The surrounding is stunning and I was able to try the tölt. Absolutely recommended this place!

We went riding through the great landscapes of Iceland and it was impressive. I would repeat it as many times as possible. In addition, the Family was lovely ! I totally recommend it.

I contacted Anna before our arrival in Akureyri, and she was so flexible in working with us to tailor an experience that we would really enjoy. She picked us up in Akureyri, took us to her stables, let us photograph the horses while she was saddling them, and took us on a nice ride, even though it was a very cold day! She included us into her family while we groomed the horses, ate lamb stew and tried some Icelandic delicacies. We had such a nice afternoon, highly recommend this experience when you are in Iceland. Thank you Anna and Halldor!

My wife and I had a wonderful ride. Our guide Marta was friendly and helpful - we have ridden Western but not English previously and she coached us well. The scenery was spectacular and the horses were gentle and well mannered.

This was the best horseback riding experience we have ever had. The trails were stunning. The horses were beautiful and sweet. The views were breathtaking. The trails took us through a forest of Christmas trees, over a bridge, along a stream, above the trees, while surrounded by snow capped/glacier mountains in August. This was the perfect Iceland horseback riding experience.
At the beginning of our ride, we needed some riding reminders and our guide Martha was so kind, patient, and helpful. Martha was great throughout the entire ride.
We arrived to Iceland by cruise ship and had plenty of time to do a morning ride at 10:00am and were back to the cruise ship before 1:00pm to have lunch on the ship.
This appears to be a family farm business which makes it even more charming. We highly recommend this horseback riding experience.

We had an amazing time and ride. Owner Anna and guide Bar were very personal, professional, and friendly. It was a beautiful ride with easy horses! We even share Happy Marriage Cake and tea in their stable after the ride! It was a wonderful outing!

We loved riding Icelandic horses with Deacon at Stable Stop! It was a highlight of our trip to Iceland. We enjoyed trying the various gaits, and appreciated the helpful directions from the riding staff.
