Full description
Would you like to ride under a starry sky, surrounded by the evocative landscapes of the Bologna hills?
If the answer is yes, get ready for a one-hour horseback ride you won't easily forget.
At sunset, when the sky lights up in shades of pink and orange and the first stars begin to shine, set off in the company of an equestrian guide along the historic Porrettana road. In about an hour's walk, you will travel a stretch of history, amidst the little houses dotting the path and the soft light that makes everything even more magical!
What we will do
The rendezvous is around sunset in Vergato (BO), where we will be welcomed by our equestrian guide and the splendid horses of the riding school. Before setting off, we will take a few minutes to familiarise ourselves with the horses and learn the basic commands.
Once ready, we will set off along the route of the historic Porrettana road, accompanied by our guide. This route, built in 1816, passes through a landscape of hills, forests and small settlements, which will take us back in time.
The approximately 6 km route winds its way through secluded cottages and quiet streets, far from city traffic. The LED lights adorning the horses will add a touch of magic to our evening ride, creating a truly evocative atmosphere. We will ride at pace, following the guide and admiring the surrounding landscape as the night envelops us in its tranquillity.
After about 1 hour of horse riding, we will return to the stables.
