Horseback riding on Icelandic horses
You can reach most places on Læsø on foot or by bike, but if you want to experience the island's extensive, unspoilt areas of raw nature, we highly recommend a trip on horseback or by horse-drawn carriage.
Riding on Læsø
Tölt
The Icelandic horse has become very common on Læsø. With its special gaits and calm temperament, the horse is well-suited for riding tours, regardless of the rider's age and experience.
When the Icelandic horse tölts, the movements in the horse's back are minimal, which result in a very comfortable experience for the rider. As such, this gait is used most often on riding tours on the Icelandic horses.
Riding trails
Birds are more comfortable around people, who are riding horses, which gives you great opportunity to get closer to them on horseback.
There are riding trails on Rønnerne and in the forests of Læsø, and all riders are encouraged to stay on the paths, out of consideration for plants, birds and animals.
For the very experienced rider, a free galop along the beach is the greatest experience.
Riding tours
On Læsø, several places offer riding tours on Icelandic horses, with experienced guides.
