Dear students! 

In the previous years, the Office of International Education 
organized horseback  riding tours for foreign students and visiting 
teachers as part of the programme called  "Indroduction to Iceland". 
The organisation of the riding trips has now moved to the    horse 
riding group at the University of Iceland which was founded last 
autumn,  

In co-operation with Icelandic Travel Horses we are happy to offer 
foreign 
students and visiting teachers the chance to experience the 
Icelandic horse 
often referred to as the Icelandic pony.  
We have scheduled one trip now on Friday, 23. March, but if there is 
a demand for 
more then we will simply add more. The minimum number of 
participants is 5. 
You will be supplied with helmets and proper clothing. In addition, 
Icelandic Travel Horses seek to give it's guests guidance and advice 
on the 
treatment and grooming of the Icelandic horse. 

You don´t have to be non-icelandic, everybody is welcome!

Participants will be picked up at 16.30 on the gravel carpark in front 
of the university  main building and brought back there after the ride. 
The riding trip through the valley  of Mosfellsdalur will take 2-3 
hours. Riding experience is not necessary. 
Price: 3500 ISK. 

Please register until Thursday, 22nd of April by email: ursula at hi.is
