When craftsmanship, technology, and equestrian passion unite, the result is the Hrímnir Passion saddle — a masterpiece designed to elevate the connection between horse and rider. Developed in close cooperation with FT master trainer Þórarinn Eymundsson, the Passion saddle embodies the spirit of Icelandic riding: harmony, balance, and freedom of movement.

Finding the right bit is one of the most important steps toward achieving harmony, comfort, and clear communication between you and your horse. While choosing a bit may seem simple, the anatomy of the Icelandic horse’s mouth, the sensitivity of the tongue and bars, and the variety of bit designs make it essential to approach this decision with knowledge and care.

The Hrímnir Heritage Collection combines Icelandic tradition with timeless elegance, connecting the modern Icelandic horse to its rich history. Join us on a journey to Icelandic heritage and find out more about our unique designs.

The Hrímnir Heritage saddle, developed in close cooperation with team Hrímnir rider Viðar Ingólfsson, merges tradition and innovation to enhance comfort and adaptability for both horse and rider. This saddle combines the most popular features of our other saddles in one model, making it suitable for a wide range of horses and riders.

Traditional saddles with a conventional wool or wool/synthetic mix filling need about six months of regular riding to settle into the shape of the horse's back and at this time the first re-stuffing is already required. This is because wool does not go back to its original shape and the panels can become asymmetrical or develop hardened bulky spots, as the filling shifts or bunches together. This can cause soreness for the horse.

When you live an active lifestyle, you require more from your gear, and insulation is no exception. PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation Active is designed to regulate your comfort level during intense activity while offering performance without compromise in a wide range of conditions

Our saddles are expertly designed by saddle makers, trainers, and veterinarians in close cooperation. The seat is balanced correctly on the panels for even weight distribution on the horse’s back.

To ensure that the ride is a pleasure for both rider and horse, it is essential that the saddle fits the horse, and is positioned correctly on its back. The saddle should allow the horse free movement and the development of a round and well-balanced topline. The saddle needs to be in the right position on the horse’s back in order to judge its fit, and to allow the horse correct movement.

Our different saddle models have different seat depths. The depth of the seat influences how the rider is supported in the saddle. A deep seat usually supports the rider in a more upright and aligned position, and offers more support, especially in trot and canter.

Our saddles are available in sizes 16,5” (Pro, Elite and Heritage), 17” and 17.5”.These sizes refer to the size of the saddle tree, which is measured from the middle of the cantle to one of the saddle nails on the pommel.
