Megalong Icelandic Horses

Introducing our stunning upcoming gelding, Sölvi.

Sölvi is beautifully finding his confidence in canter and developing his strength and balance in his gaits.
He has a sweet and sensitive soul and eye- catching presence.
He proudly follows in the footsteps of his handsome sire and our stallion Magnus, inheriting both his striking looks and elegant movement.

We are incredibly excited about his future and the potential he continues to show.

If you’re looking for a talented young gelding with quality, trainability and wonderful character, Sölvi may be your perfect match.

Send us a message to follow his progress or to learn more about making him yours.

Just like the old days! The local kids riding their Icelandics down the valley to Megalong School, a little slice of history still alive in 2025. There’s something magical about starting the day on horseback in this beautiful place. 🌿

✨ Megalong Moments ✨
This month’s story comes from Bronwyn and her beautiful mare, Hela 🩶

What started as a casual riding lesson with her daughter Steph turned into a life-changing connection. From never planning to own a horse to forming an incredible bond with her Icelandic, Bronwyn’s journey is a true reflection of what makes these horses — and the community around them — so special.

Here’s Bronwyn sharing her story in her own words:

“In June 2023 I booked a lesson for my daughter and I at Megalong Icelandic Horses because we had heard about the Icelandic horses but never experienced them. We both fell in love with the Icelandics and continued to have regular weekly lessons even though I was never going to buy a horse. Then I met Hela in November 2023 and fell in love. I was nervous about owning a horse but willing to commit to Hela. With offers of support from Michelle and her team I took the plunge and haven’t looked back.

Hela and I have come such a long way in 2 years with the amazing support of Michelle and the trainers at Megalong. We have attended clinics with international instructors and even entered an online NZ & Australia competition in April this year placing 3rd in the T8 and V6.

It has been the best challenge for me trying to teach Hela new things while I am also learning them! The most rewarding part of this journey is in the everyday - time spent at the stables whether it’s grooming, groundwork, practising in the arena or trail rides. Hela is the most beautiful girl, she’s clever and quite entertaining (I could be biased). I am excited to continue to work with Hela - I feel like we have a great bond now and are such a good team.

I love Hela so much and couldn’t imagine my life without her.”

We’re kicking off Megalong Moments – a monthly peek into the lives of our happy horse owners and their Icelandic companions.

First up: meet Jólan and her little red mare Embla ❤️
These two have become quite the team – from weekend rides through the bush to lazy paddock hangs, their bond is full of laughter, learning, and a whole lot of tölt.

Stay tuned each month as we bring you heartwarming (and sometimes hilarious) moments from the Megalong community. You might just spot a familiar face…

Jolan tells us more about her Embla: “I met my Embla in Aug/Sep 2024. Initially I had my heart set on a gelding, but then Michelle and Hanna introduced me to Embla as they thought she would be a perfect fit. It turns out that they knew what they were talking about and I fell in love. I am happy to talk about Embla to anyone who is willing to listen. My family and friends must be tired of all the Embla spam, but I think that they indulge me because they can see how happy she makes me. I have my 3 girls and like the other 2, Embla has a mind of her own and beats to her own drum and I love her for it. She is quirky, opinionated, smart, loving, trustworthy and perfect for me as a beginner rider. This little pocket rocket makes me laugh at all of her funny little moments and has perfected the side eye! I love my Little Red Mare. Thank you Megalong Icelandics - you are the best.”

Our dedicated colleague Eira is currently en route to Europe as she prepares to represent Australia at the upcoming Icelandic World Championships! 🇮🇸 She will be meeting her competition horse in Austria, where she will spend time training and getting the horse ready for the event before traveling to Switzerland for the competition in early August.

A few members of our local community are making the journey to Europe to support Eira, along with fellow Australian team members Laura and Birgit. The rest of us will be following their progress closely from here, cheering them on through the event’s livestream. 🎉

We will share more information about how to watch and support the team as the competition date approaches.
