We booked a 2 hour horse ride here. Our tour was scheduled to start at 10am. We stood around in the stables and it took about 30-45 minutes to get everyone assigned a horse, helmet, getting the horses ready to go. We then went on a ride that lasted maybe 30-45 minutes. It wasn't a ride that was scenic at all. We went single file down the ranch road that goes along the highway. The guides were friendly enough, but when I book a 2 hr horse ride -- I expect to ride more than 30-45 minutes. The tour is geared for beginners and if you like riding horses, I would book a private tour.

We took a 2 hour horse ride which was excellent. The horses are very gentle and well treated. Very good for those with and without experiance. We came at 6:00pm and spontaneously booked a ride. After that we finished off with a good meal.This is also a very nice place to eat. The Buffet costs 5000 ISK and you can eat as much as you want. This thankfully, was the best food in Iceland we got without having to pay a fortune.
