Full description
Immerse yourself in the unspoilt nature of the Pineta di Castel Fusano, near Ostia, with an exciting 2-hour horseback ride.
In the company of an equestrian guide, you will ride on the magnificent paths of the reserve, among holm oaks, maritime pines and endless open spaces, perfect for galloping. You will spend unforgettable moments in contact with nature and with a special friend, the horse.
This walk is suitable for those who already have a minimum of horse riding experience.
What we will do
The appointment is at the riding school, between Ostia Antica and Ostia Lido, a few kilometres from Rome. Here, an equestrian guide will be waiting for us, who will introduce us to the splendid trained horses.
We will have a 5-minute briefing on the activity and safety rules, and after donning our equipment, we will set off on our horses towards the Castel Fusano pine forest, a reserve of around 900 hectares and one of the largest green areas in the city of Rome.
We will ride immersed in unspoilt nature, among holm oaks and maritime pines, while the guide will accompany us with stories and curiosities about the flora and fauna of the place. The route is mainly wooded, with a short stretch on an asphalt road.
The total duration of the activity is 2 hours and ends with the return to the starting point.
