Full description
The horse, a strong and majestic animal. Have you ever tried to ride one? To climb into the saddle, feel the reins in your hands while observing the landscape around you and caressing its soft mane?
This is your chance to enjoy this unique experience in the Castelporziano pine forest, near Rome. You will cross a natural oasis among maritime pines and archaeological remains on the back of this beautiful animal: an equestrian guide will teach you the basics and accompany you during the 1-hour horseback ride.
And if you have selected the option with an aperitif, on your return you will be able to recharge your batteries with a tasty local chop!
What we will do
We will meet at Castelporziano (RM), where we will first meet our guide for this adventure and then get to know the horse that will accompany us during the ride.
A short briefing on the basic rules of horse handling and instructions for English riding... and off we go!
We will immediately enter the Castelporziano pine forest, a small treasure chest of biodiversity just a stone's throw from Rome. We will listen to the many stories our guide will tell us about this pine forest and the flora and fauna present, which we will try to spot during the walk.
In the distance, we will admire Pliny's villa, an archaeological find that hides seconds of history. The only bastion of civilisation, the rest of the route is a succession of natural views that we will be able to admire at our leisure.
We finally return to the meeting point. If the"walk + aperitif" option is purchased, on our return to the riding stables we will be welcomed with an aperitif comprising a cheese and cold cuts platter and assorted snacks accompanied by a glass of wine, a cocktail or a non-alcoholic drink to toast this experience together!
The activity will last about 1 hour in total.
