Icelandic horses on Rømø
120 Icelandic horses, daily guided rides through the plantation and on the beach – from your first time in the saddle to multi-day treks.
The Icelandic horse centre is the heart of Kommandørgården. The horses live in herds on the pastures behind the campsite, and the stables are a few steps from the pitches. Two to four guided rides set off every day – gentle for beginners, brisk for experienced riders.
A host who knows horses
Therese runs the farm and the horse centre. She knows every horse, matches the animals to each rider’s experience and often joins the rides herself.
