Full description
There’s a fox over there! And there’s a fallow deer!
That’s what you’ll find yourself exclaiming as you take part in our horse ride in Pisa: accompanied by a qualified equestrian guide, you’ll ride through San Rossore Park to discover the local flora and fauna, which includes birds, foxes, fallow deer and even wolves.
As for the squirrel, that’ll be you, having fun collecting pine cones!
What we will do
Please arrive 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Pisa. Once there, we’ll meet the equestrian guide who’ll be accompanying us on this adventure!
Once all participants have gathered, we’ll be given our equipment and each of us will be assigned a horse. We’ll then mount up, learn the basics of horse riding and all the information we need to ensure a worry-free experience.
And here we are, ready for our horse ride! Depending on the duration you’ve chosen, we’ll follow these routes:
- 2 hours: we’ll venture into San Rossore Park, riding around the racecourse and through the wetlands of the San Bartolomeo Wood.
- 3 hours: we’ll venture into San Rossore Park, riding around the racecourse and through the wetlands along the banks of the Morto River and behind the spectacular sand dunes.
- 3½ hours: we’ll set off into San Rossore Park, riding through the Maddalena Wood as far as the Buca delle Ghiande and the Buca di Cacciamani. Finally, we’ll reach La Pineta, a former pine-cone gathering spot (and we won’t miss the chance to collect some ourselves) !
- 4 hours: we’ll venture into San Rossore Park, riding through the area of spectacular sand dunes until we reach the sea. Under park regulations, riding on the beach is not permitted in order to protect the dunes from erosion and to allow the Kentish plover and the loggerhead turtle to nest – and we’ll be doing our bit to help protect them too!
Whichever route we take, we’ll be exploring areas accessible only when accompanied by an Equestrian Environmental Guide. You’ll also have the chance to spot the area’s characteristic flora and fauna, such as birds, foxes, fallow deer and even wolves!
Finally, we’ll return to the meeting point.
