Full description
The surroundings of Samolaco in the province of Sondrio are the ideal natural setting for a horseback ride.
Meet your horse at the riding guide's farm; after an initial greeting, and refreshing basic riding techniques for those of you who already have experience in the saddle, we will be ready to set off on our first two-hour adventure together!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you at the time selected during the booking process at my farm in Samolaco, in the province of Sondrio. On your arrival you will find my horses to welcome you, kept in the wild; you will become attached to them over the course of the excursion.
As a riding guide I will explain basic riding techniques including how to start, how to steer and how to brake the horse; a reminder for you who already have experience in the saddle. We will then be ready to climb into the saddle and ride through the meadows, along the riverbank and on the shore of the Novate Mezzola lake, putting ourselves to the test with a little climbing. We will ride through the villages of Samolaco, Somaggia and Novate Mezzola.
The excursion lasts a total of 2 hours, but our love of horses is endless!
Who it is aimed at
The excursion is intended for riders with experience and mastery of all gaits, aged 14 and over; minors do not need to be accompanied by an adult of age.
