Full description
Acomplete riding experience for a first time on horseback.
Grooming, to get close to the animal and gain confidence. Riding lesson, to learn the basics of the discipline. Horse riding, to put into practice what you have learned with theriding instructor and explore the natural scenery around Salice Terme in the saddle.
And when you return to the stables, you will toast to this experience of over 1 hour!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Rivanazzano (PV). Welcoming us to the stables will be our riding instructor and his splendid horses in the wild!
On our arrival we will collect the animals and begin the experience with the grooming phase: an initial approach to the horse during which we will groom it, saddle it and not fail to pamper it! In the meantime, the instructor will provide us with notions of the ethology of the horse to get to know it better. This first phase will last approximately 20 minutes.
We will then proceed to get dressed and go into the ring where the riding lesson will take place: the instructor, holding us on the ground with a lunge, will teach us the basics of the discipline and we will be able to put into practice what we have learned with a series of exercises. This second phase will last about 20 minutes.
We will then be ready for our horseback ride: we will venture around the riding school, riding on English mounts in a meadow surrounded by woods. The scenery will be scenic and range from Salice Terme to the mountains; if the sky is clear, you can even see the Alps! This third phase will last about 20 minutes; the instructor will generally accompany us on foot with a lunge.
We will finally return to the riding school where we will find an aperitif, reinforced aperitif or lunch waiting for us, depending on the option selected. The aperitif consists of chips and other classic snacks accompanied by an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink; the reinforced aperitif consists of a platter of cold cuts and cheeses from the area accompanied by a glass of wine; lunch consists of a first course, platter of cold cuts and cheeses from the area accompanied by a glass of wine and coffee. The total experience will last approximately 1½ hours.
