A 4-hour experience, discovering the territory in (and with) all the senses!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Vergato (BO). Awaiting us will be the equestrian guide who will accompany us on this adventure!
Having gathered all the participants, we will get to know the horses and mount the saddle. The guide will explain the basics of horse riding and provide all the useful information for a carefree experience.
And here we are ready to begin our horseback ride: we will venture into the natural setting of the Emilian hills and mountains, crossing fields and entering groves. After about 1 hour of riding, we will reach theSerra dei Gatti farmhouse, which will host us for lunch: the menu includes a first course, main course, side dish and dessert based on local products and traditional recipes from Emilia-Romagna. We will satisfy both taste and sight, enjoying the landscape from the panoramic terrace! The lunch break will last about one and a half hours.
Finally, we will get back in the saddle and return to the meeting point. The experience will last a total of 4 hours.
