We are a local horse breeding farm with about 60 horses and 5 to 7 foals every year. Our breeding story is old and in our stables you can find horses with a family tree dating back to 1936. They are all born here at Sturlureykir and that makes our farm one of the oldest breeding farm of Icelandic horses in the world. Same place and same family.<\/p>\n<p>We have offered riding tours for more than 30 years. The reason is simple, we love our work, we know our horses and love to give others an exceptional experience.<\/p>\n<p>When you visit Sturlureykir you can have more informations than just about our horses.
