The day we road-tripped through Iceland's Golden Circle, what mesmerized me most wasn't the waterfalls or the geysers or the cute Icelandic homes dotting the countryside. It was the ponies! We would whiz by them and I would swoon. So the very next day, we headed on a sunrise horseback ride---a definite highlight of the entire trip.
thankfully, the winter sunrise in Iceland isn't until 10AM so it's an easy one to catch. But first, warming up with hot chocolates and coffees before our snowy winter ride.
mounted up and ready to see the sunrise
nothing but blue skies and the prettiest sunrise via horseback
we were there to ride the ponies, but made pretty good friends with the farm dog too
After we returned from our sunrise ride, Tom and I spent quite a bit more time outside in the corral just playing with and petting the ponies. If we can have a chance to enjoy the great outdoors when we travel and bond with animals, we always do. We stayed with the Icelandic ponies until we couldn't handle the cold any longer and loved every moment of it.

I wish we had time for the horseback riding when we went! What a fun experience! xo, Biana-BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteYea we definitely didn't have this planned initially and just added it in because I wanted to see the ponies up close ha!
