Here at Taktur, we offer specialized training for Icelandic horse equestrians and liberty enthusiasts. Our goal is to create students that have an in-depth understanding of training principles and can develop into independent, empowered horse owners.

While our speciality is Icelandic horses, we welcome all breeds when it comes to liberty, dressage, and bridleless riding focused lessons.
