The Icelandic Yule Lads
The 13 Yule Lads were originally portrayed as being mischievous, or even criminal, pranksters that would steal from, or in other way harass the population (at the time mostly rural farmers). They all had descriptive names that conveyed their modus operandi.

The horses were friendly, calm, and delightful to ride. We spent most of the trip walking, but occasionally put the horses into a little trot which was exhilarating and just a little scary! I highly recommend this tour (Day Tour at the Riding Center), and I would love to do it again. This was one of the highlights of our amazing trip to Iceland.
