We start the day by finding saddles and other things regarding the horses, after that we start the first ridingtour. The riding tour of the day takes about 5 hours. We ride from Steinsholt alongside Kálfá -river and then to Þjórsá – river which is Icleand´s longest river and, also, quite a big one. On the way we stop in Skaftholtsréttir where we have a lunch break. After this riding tour we recommend the hot tub in Steinsholt.
