Full description
If your dream is to ride a horse to explore the coast and beaches of Tuscany, you are in the right place.
In Marina di Castagneto Carducci, in the province of Livorno, you will experience unforgettable moments during our horseback ride suitable also for beginners.
You will ride for 2 hours along one of the wildest stretches of the Costa degli Etruschi, admiring the sea on one side and the Mediterranean maquis on the other. Nobel Prize-winning poet Giosuè Carducci loved and frequented these places, and we are sure you will fall in love with them at first sight.
What we will do
The meeting point is at a riding school in Marina di Castagneto Carducci. A qualified equestrian guide, who will accompany the group throughout the entire experience, will teach you some basic rules for horseback riding on an American saddle before setting off.
After a 15-minute briefing, we will set off on our ride. We will ride a fascinating nature trail along one of the wildest stretches of the Costa degli Etruschi, a stretch of the Tyrrhenian Sea from Livorno to Piombino. Along much of the coastline grows the typical Mediterranean pine forest, separating the sea from the hinterland with the green foliage of its maritime pines.
A few kilometres from the picturesque village of Bolgheri, surrounded by vineyards, you can ride your horse along the golden sands of Marina di Castagneto Carducci. If the weather permits, you may even have the opportunity to enter the water for a few minutes while remaining in the saddle. Walking on the beach and entering the water will not be possible during the summer months (May to September) as there is a ban on bathing.
We will then return to the starting point. The horse ride will last 2 hours; the experience including reception, briefing and horse ride will last 2 ½ hours in total.
Who it is aimed at
The activity is suitable for everyone over the age of 14. No horse riding experience is necessary. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied to the riding stables by an adult (but not necessarily during the ride).
The maximum weight allowed to participate in the activity is 115 kg.
Other information
The experience takes place all year round, weather permitting.
Important: During the summer months (beginning of May to end of September) riding on the beach and entering the water is not allowed due to bathing. During these months, you will only be able to look onto the beach and take a few photos, but you will not be able to access it or swim on the back of the horse. From October to the end of April, however, the walk takes place as indicated.
Any accompanying persons not taking part in the activity can stay at the riding stables. Pets are also allowed in the riding hall dining area.
The experience is also available privately at an additional charge of €15 per person. Please contact us to make a reservation.
The riding school is not easily accessible by public transport.
