Welcome to Töltmaster!

"Tölt is the product of posture and balance" - Eyjólfur Ísólfsson

Based on the best from Icelandic tradition, classical riding and natural horsemanship, we offer customized courses, clinics, and seminars to our customers around the world. Trust, communication, posture and balance are the keywords to achieve outstanding results and performance in the relationship between man and horse.

The courses are for riders from all levels of horsemanship. Beginners need a solid foundation and more advanced rider wants specialization. You will find all this and more in Eyjólfur's courses. Harmony in mind and motion and development of the gaits is the main goal, with the Tölt in the center.

You send us a video film showing the challenges you are having, or issues you want to improve. Eyjolfur will review the video film and respond to you with specific recommendations by an e-mail.


Also NEW is the online video shop. The online videos are all about education. Next to having lessons ourselves, the best way to learn is to watch.
