1/1

On our farm in West Iceland, animals are not attractions — they’re our family, our teachers, and our closest friends.

Our horses and sheep live freely in wide-open fields, raised with kindness and care. They are calm, friendly, and incredibly attuned to people. For many guests, their time with the animals becomes the most meaningful part of their trip.

There’s something deeply healing in brushing a horse’s mane, feeling a lamb's soft breath in your hands, or simply sitting quietly among them as the wind moves through the valley.

MARS "THE COMET"

Born in June 2024, Mars is the youngest member of our animal family — and already a star in his own right.

His mother, Móska, is gentle, watchful, and incredibly nurturing. You can see the bond between them in every step — wherever she goes, Mars is never far behind (unless he’s off inventing his own adventure).

Some days, he zips across the field like a comet, leaping and hopping just for the joy of it. Other times, he’ll come right up to us, look us in the eyes, and start “talking.” We’re still learning his language — but it’s clear he has a lot to say.

SNÆLDA "THE ESCAPE ARTIST"

Snælda isn’t just smart — she’s brilliant. One of the most clever horses we’ve ever known, she has a mind of her own and an impressive track record of jailbreaks to prove it.

When Snælda’s in the stable, we have to secure her stall with extra ropes — because she knows how to unlock it. And she doesn’t stop there. Once she’s free, she lets everyone else out too. It’s never just an escape — it’s a liberation movement.

She’s also been known to leap fences, duck under gates, and invent her own shortcuts around the farm. If Snælda wants to go somewhere, she’ll get there. No question.

She’s clever, curious, and completely unforgettable — the kind of horse that reminds us how brilliant and individual these animals truly are

SVESKJA "THE SWEETHEART"

Sveskja (which means “Prune” in Icelandic) is one of our oldest — and most cherished — sheep. She was born in a spring when all the lambs were named after fruits, and somehow, the name stuck in the most endearing way.

She may be getting on in years, but her heart is as soft and open as ever. Cuddles are her love language — she’ll happily stand beside you for hours if you keep petting her. She leans in gently, closes her eyes, and simply melts into the moment.

We treasure every day with her. She’s not just part of the flock — she’s part of the soul of our farm

TINA, FREDDIE & ELVIS

MERKÚR "THE CHARMER"

Merkúr is a total heartthrob — and he knows it. With his striking looks, strong build, and graceful presence, he turns heads wherever he goes.

He’s even competed in tournaments, but he carries himself like a champion every day, strutting through the fields like the runway is his. Around the farm, we sometimes joke that his theme song is that 90s hit “I’m Too Sexy” — because, well… he kind of is.

But don’t let his confidence fool you — he’s also kind, responsive, and deeply tuned in. A true superstar, both in style and spirit.

PARADÍS & VENUS "THE DISNEY SISTERS"

We often call Paradís and Venus our Disney horses — not just because they’re beautiful (and they really are), but because they seem like they’ve galloped straight out of a fairytale.

With their expressive eyes, flowing manes, and big personalities, they’re always the first to greet us when we call. They’ll come trotting over with excitement, ears forward and eyes shining, ready for whatever adventure (or cuddle) we might have in mind.

They’re playful, curious, and full of charm — the kind of horses that make children gasp and adults fall in love. A perfect pair of sisters with hearts as warm as their presence is magical.

SNÚLLA & DÚLLA

Snúlla and Dúlla are sisters, born in the spring of 2024. Their names translate to something like “Cutie and Patootie” — and once you meet them, you’ll understand why. These two sisters are inseparable, endlessly curious, and impossibly sweet.

Born in the spring of 2025, these three siblings quickly became the most talked-about little fluffballs on the farm.

We named Tína first — because from day one, she had the energy, confidence, and unstoppable moves of Tina Turner. Always jumping, always first in line, always stealing the show.

Naturally, her two adorable brothers needed names to match her star power. Enter Freddie and Elvis — a little more mellow, but just as charming. Freddie loves to cuddle, Elvis is a curious explorer, and together they’re the softest trio of entertainers you’ll ever meet.

They may not sing (yet), but they’ve got the stage presence — and the wool — to win anyone over
