1-hour horseback ride in the province of Florence

But how wonderful it would be to ride in the Tuscan countryside.

This fantasy is soon a reality, even on your first horseback ride! Venture out in the saddle around Reggello, in the province of Florence: an equestrian guide will follow you on foot with a lunghina, accompanying you to discover a natural setting dotted with olive groves and vineyards.

A1-hour horse riding experience to fall in love with the territory and horse riding!

What we will do

I will be waiting for you 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Reggello (FI). Welcoming you to the estate will be me, your equestrian guide!

Having gathered all the participants, I will introduce my beloved horses and assign you the one best suited to your physical characteristics. I will then help you get on the saddle with English riding and teach you the basics of riding, for a carefree first experience.

And here we are ready for our horseback ride: we will venture along a ring-route on footpaths and dirt tracks, riding through natural scenery dotted with olive groves, vineyards and forests. We will then reach a vantage point with a view of the Valdarno and the Villa Medicea di Mandri. For the entire ride, I will lead you on foot with a lunge that I will slowly loosen until you are in full control of the horse!

We will then return to the meeting point. The horse ride will last 1 hour; the total experience will last 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Who it is aimed at

The experience is suitable for children from the age of 3; children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult on the estate.

A maximum weight of 110 kg is required to participate in this activity.

This excursion is of an easy level and suitable for a first horseback ride: the equestrian guide will lead you on foot with a lunge, which he will loosen at his own discretion until you have fully mastered the horse. If the guide verifies that you already have experience on horseback, he or she will lead the walk in the saddle and you can follow it independently.
