Full description
Friends, I’ve got an original idea for an aperitif.
And you’ll find yourself on horseback. This is what awaits you when you join our horse ride in Calcinate: accompanied by an equestrian guide, you’ll ride through the natural scenery of the Serio Park and, depending on how much time you have, you might even make it to Malpaga Castle.
An experience lasting 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours, which will round off with an unmissable aperitif!
What we will do
Please arrive 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Calcinate (BG). Once there, we’ll meet the riding guide who’ll be accompanying us on this adventure!
Once all participants have gathered, we’ll be given our equipment and assigned our horses. We’ll then mount up, learn the basics of horse riding and receive all the information we need to ensure a worry-free experience. This part takes about 10 minutes.
And now we’re ready for our horse ride:
- 1 hour: we’ll set off around the riding centre, riding through the Bergamo countryside.
- 2 hours: we’ll venture out into the Bergamo countryside until we reach Malpaga Castle, where we can take a souvenir photo.
- 3 hours: we’ll venture into the Bergamo countryside until we reach the River Serio; we’ll wade into the water, cross the river and continue our ride on the other bank. Along the way, we’ll also see Malpaga Castle.
Finally, we’ll return to the meeting point where an aperitif will be waiting for us: cold cuts, cheeses and other local delicacies, accompanied by alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
The experience lasts a total of 1½ hours, 2½ hours or 3½ hours, depending on the duration of the horse ride selected.
Who it is aimed at
This experience is suitable for those aged 14 and over. Those under the age of 18 must be accompanied to the meeting point by an adult or have equivalent authorisation.
A maximum weight of 100 kg is required to take part.
The experience is easy and ideal as a first horse ride. The guide leads the way on horseback. If there are beginners, the ride takes place at a walk; if there are experienced riders, it is possible to request other gaits at the guide’s discretion.
