Full description
This is not a hallucination: the Serio River Park is really a natural oasis just a few kilometres away from the city centre!
It is precisely in this natural setting that our horseback ride takes place: in the company of an equestrian guide, you will ride for 1 hour on a country trail framed by the mountains of Bergamo and Brescia.
And before saying goodbye to your horse, you will not fail to groom and pamper him!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Capannelle, a hamlet in the municipality of Grassobbio (BG). We will be welcomed at the stables by our equestrian guide, who will accompany us on this adventure in the saddle!
Once all participants have gathered, we will meet the horses: the guide will assign us the best companion according to our physical characteristics and level of experience. We will begin to gain confidence by grooming and saddling them in preparation for our ride.
Having donned the equipment, we will mount the horse and learn the basics of horse riding during a field exercise. We will then be ready to venture out for a ride on English or American mounts: we will ride on a beaten country trail in the Serio River Park, a natural oasis not far from the centre of Bergamo. Along the way, we may come across rabbits and other animals that inhabit the area and the grove where we will ride.
With the mountains of Bergamo and Brescia in the background, we will finally return to the stables. Here we will dismount and clean our horse, before saying goodbye to it. The horse ride will last one hour; the total experience will last one and a half hours.
Who it is aimed at
The experience is suitable for ages 14 and up; children under the age of 18 must be accompanied to the riding school by an adult.
