Sörlastaðir and the Sörli area are unique.

A new indoor riding arena will completely transform the facilities for equestrians at Sörli and open up new opportunities for indoor competitions. The Sörli grounds and its arena complex are unique, and the community, environment and surroundings that Sörli has built up in the area are exemplary. The new building will bring members and visitors even closer to the arena, the sport, and the horses. Indoor and outdoor spectator areas will merge, and from the new building, it will be possible to walk out onto a paved terrace above a new spectator bank by the arena. The new building will help the club to further its excellent work in developing its children's and novice programmes, and will expand opportunities for instruction and regular training sessions for Sörli's members. The club's competitive and elite athletes will finally have a superb indoor facility for training.

A few vacant stables plots are available in the area.. Interested parties are encouraged to secure a plot and build a new stable on a fantastic club and hacking estate.

Go, Sigurl!
