Full description
Come and discover the serenity and beauty of a ranch set in a lush valley, where time seems to stand still.
Forge a special bond with your horse before setting off on a ride to discover the woods and hills of Pianoro, in the province of Bologna.
The equestrian guides, with their passion and knowledge, will guide you step by step on this one-and-a-half-hour adventure, perfect for both experienced riders and those taking to the saddle for the first time.
What we will do
You will meet your guide at the ranch in Pianoro (BO), at the time selected during the booking process.
On your arrival, you will take an active part in preparing your horse, brushing and saddling him to create an initial bond with him. The guide will teach you the basic commands and how to ride in the American (western) style, allowing you to gain confidence and security.
After a few laps around the arena, we will leave the ranch and head out into the lush nature through the trails that branch off into the valley. We will proceed at a leisurelypace, allowing us to admire the beautiful scenery and, with a bit of luck, even catch a glimpse of wildlife.
The one and a quarter hour horseback ride will take us through the woods of Pianoro, among chestnut and oak trees, and the famous "calanchi Bolognesi", clay ridges. We will take a few souvenir photos here to make the adventure unforgettable, and return back to the ranch.
Between briefing and horseback riding, the experience lasts a total of about one and a half hours.
