Full description
There is no better setting for a horseback ride than the 'green lung' of Abruzzo: the Maiella National Park!
Ride for 1 hour in this beautiful natural setting at the foot of Mount Morrone, near the municipality of Pratola Peligna. A liberating experience in the countryside, discovering riding and the territory in the company of an equestrian guide.
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Pratola Peligna (AQ). We will be welcomed at the stables by the equestrian guide who will accompany us on this adventure in the saddle!
Once all participants have gathered, we will meet our 'adventure companions', the horses. We will proceed to the saddle and be taught the basics of riding. We will then get familiar with it by taking a test ride on the training ground.
It will then be the start of our horseback ride: we will take a mainly flat path that will take us along the Sagittario river (which runs all the way to Tuscany!), and then into the woods of the Maiella National Park. Along the way at the foot of Monte Morrone, we will also spot the Orsa Castle.
We will finally return to the meeting point. The horse ride will last 1 hour; the total experience will last 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Who it is aimed at
The experience is suitable from 8 years of age. Children from 14 years of age will ride independently, while children from 8 to 13 years of age will be led on the ground by a dedicated guide via a harness. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied to the riding school by an adult to sign a release form.
A maximum weight of 100 kg is required to participate in the activity.
This experience is of an easy level and suitable for first-time horse riders.
