Full description
We know you've only read 'Tuscan cold cuts and cheeses'.
Join our horseback ride in Pistoia: in the company of our equestrian guide, you will venture into the splendid landscape of the Pistoia hills with a panoramic view of the entire valley. And if the sky is particularly clear, you may even spot the city of Florence on the horizon!
An experience of over 1 to 2 hours, with a Tuscan aperitif included!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Pistoia. Awaiting us will be the equestrian guide who will accompany us on this adventure!
Having gathered all the participants and handed over the equipment, we will proceed with the assignment of the steed. The experience will begin with a ground approach to get acquainted with our companion, during which we will brush and saddle the animal. We will then mount the horse and learn the basics of riding. This will last about 15 minutes.
And here we are ready for our horseback ride: we will ride on white roads, in the splendid scenery of the Pistoia hills; along the way we will enjoy a panoramic view of the entire valley and, on particularly clear days, we will even be able to see Prato and Florence! The guide will lead the group on horseback or on foot according to the participants' needs. The horse ride will last 1 hour or 2 hours depending on the option selected.
We will finally return to the meeting point where we will toast an aperitif of Tuscan cold cuts and cheeses with crostini, accompanied by alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
The experience will last a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes or 2 hours and 45 minutes depending on the option selected.
Who it is aimed at
The experience is suitable from the age of 4; children up to the age of 13 are led by a guide on the ground. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult participant.
A maximum weight of 120 kg is required to participate.
The experience is of an easy level and suitable as a first horse ride.
