Full description
You never forget your first time.
And indeed, you will always remember your first experience in contact with horses: in the company of an instructor and riding technician, you will learn to get to know and communicate with the horse, until you get into the saddle and experience the unique thrill of riding!
An experience lasting over 1 hour, enriched by a typical Ligurian aperitif.
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Genoa. On site you will meet the instructor and riding technician who will accompany you on this adventure, reserved for you and other participants in your company.
The experience begins with assigning and getting to know the animal: you will approach the horse, brush it and saddle it. This part lasts about 15 minutes.
Next you will enter the field and learn how to handle the horse from the ground: you will learn how to start, brake and change direction according to your instructions; you will be on the ground and walk alongside the horse. Finally, you will mount the saddle and put into practice what you have learned on the ground, and before you know it you will be experiencing the unique thrill of riding a horse! This part lasts about 50 minutes.
And once you have dismounted, you will enjoy your prize: a typical Ligurian aperitif with focaccia, cheese and other local products according to availability, accompanied by an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink.
The experience lasts a total of about 1½ hours.
