Full description

Treat yourself to a horseback ride and a moment of true cowboy life fording the Cornia river in Tuscany.

In the company of an equestrian guide, ride towards Monte Peloso, where you can admire the quarries from which granite was once extracted, and towards Suvereto. On your return to the stables, you can enjoy a tasty meal in perfect Maremma style.

Feeling the taste of freedom yet?

What we will do

We will meet at the stables in Suvereto (LI), at the time chosen for the excursion.

As soon as we arrive, we will get to know the guide and break the ice with the horse we will be assigned. Afterwards, the guide will hold an introductory briefing to teach us how to mount and handle the horse.

After this small smattering of riding, we will leave the stables to ride along a breathtaking nature trail to the Cornia River. If conditions permit, we can ford a small stretch of the river, which crosses the valley to flow into the sea near Piombino.

Once past this adventurous part, we will continue until we reach the Monte Peloso hillock. This is a hill where granite was once quarried and where we can admire the old quarries. We will then ride towards Suvereto, crossing golden fields of wheat and expanses of sunflowers, before returning to the stables.

Once back at the base, we can enjoy lunch or dinner (depending on the season), cooked on site with typical Maremma products such as beans and grilled meat.

In total, the activity will last about 4 hours, including 3 hours in the saddle and 1 hour of rest.

The walk is suitable for everyone, even beginners from 14 years of age. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
