Full description
Flora and fauna, your main passions united in our Gallura horseback ride.
Explore this still little-touristed area of Sardinia in the company of an equestrian guide: riding along a wooded trail, immerse yourself in the lush vegetation of the area. Learn to recognise thealder, a tall shrub that grows right on the banks of the Liscia river, and many other plants that decorate the landscape.
A 1.5-hour experience surrounded by nature, where it still reigns supreme.
What we will do
I will be waiting for you at the selected time at the meeting point in Arzachena (SS). To welcome you there will be my horses running free, in the unspoilt landscape of Gallura!
In a short briefing I will provide you with all the information you need to participate in the English-mounted horse ride. I will lead the group in the saddle as an equestrian guide; all the other horses will follow me neatly in single file, as they are trained to live in a family and recognise hierarchical order.
We will ride into the wildest Gallura countryside, taking a purely wooded route through trees such as cork, juniper and alder. The latter is thesymbolic tree of Gallura, a very tall shrub that grows on the banks of the Liscia river, whose course will guide us on the excursion.
We will then return to the meeting point, following the same route and recognising the vegetation that characterises this area. The experience lasts a total of about 1 ½ hours.

The experience is suitable for everyone from 8 years of age; children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
