Our guides were very passionate about horses and shared openly about their experiences and culture. We got to not just ride the horses but also take a look a the foals and stallions which were located in another location. Great experience!

The horses were like us. Me and my friend got Beluga and Thor for our trip and they matched us in personality. It made riding them even better. We got few problems while we were getting there, but the guides helped us even midle of night. It was a 10/10 experience.

When you arrive at the farm, you will meet the whole herd of Lyngs horses. The herd consists of mares, foals and playful young horses. You will get to know the friendly Lyngs horses and connect with your assigned horse for the day. After this, you will bring your own horse back to the stable for grooming and saddling up, before going out horse riding. The guide will help you saddling up. After putting on riding helmet, it is time to get up on the horse. The guide will adjust the stirrup to the right length for you, so you can horse ride safely.

Out of the stable, we horse ride along the quiet road, while you the feel the fresh and cold artic breeze in your face. You have the full sight of the amazing Grøtfjord and Lyngen Alps during the whole trip. If the conditions are right, we take the horses down to the beach. As we horse ride along, the guide tells about local history and events from the Second World War that happened right here were we are horse riding. The horse riding is approximately 60 minutes. Back at the stable, you take of the saddle, and thank your horse with a snack provided by the guide. For you, we have a warm drink and a taste of the local lefse.
