We take pleasure in introducing people from all over the world to the wonders of the Icelandic horse and the beautiful area of Westfjords. We offer short riding tours every day especially suitable for those who have never been on horseback. Our tours are designed for beginners and inexperienced, but advanced riders are welcome also. The most important part of our staff are our horses and their welfare is our priority. They are provided with the best personal and professional care possible. They are not only the key figures of our company, they are our friends and family.
In Icelandic, the word “foss” means “waterfall” and the word “hestar” means “horses”. Therefore, FOSSHESTAR translates directly into “Waterfall Horses”. We chose this name for our company because of our location in Engidalur Valley, close to the river Fossá (meaning Waterfall River) and the lake Fossavatn (meaning Waterfall Lake). In the olden days, the people of Isafjordur would refer to the bottom of the valley as “Fossar” or “the Waterfalls”.
