In 1991 horse owners in Dalvík and around moved their activities to Hringsholt. Before that, the house kept foxes and minks. The building Hringsholt was at that time unique in the country. The Hourse club Hringur got a place for its activities and along that they built up a competition court, riding hall and riding roads – all in one place. There we saw the possibility in starting a horse riding company. In 1999 the horse rental Tvistur was formed. The name Tvistur comes from a unique horse of ours that we lost way too early. The founders and owners of Tvistur Horse rental are the couple Sveinbjörn Hjörleifsson and Elín Unnarsdóttir.
