Full description
The Cedar Riviera is just as you imagine it. A constellation of cedar trees, colouring the Calabrian countryside.
By taking part in our horseback ride, you will ride in this very natural setting: in the company of an equestrian guide, you will venture around Santa Maria del Cedro for about 50 minutes.
An experience to discover the area and a passion for horse riding!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Santa Maria del Cedro (CS). Welcoming you at the stables will be me, your equestrian guide!
After introducing you to my beloved horses, I will assign you your adventure companion. I will help you into the saddle and teach you the basics of horse riding so that you can enjoy this experience without any worries.
So here we are ready for our horseback ride: we will venture into the Calabrian countryside, riding through olive groves and cedar trees; it is no coincidence that we are in the heart of the Riviera dei Cedri! We will ride along and ford the Abatemarco river and cross the valley of the same name; the horizon will range from the sea in the west to Cozzo del Pellegrino in the east, which at 1,987 metres is the highest massif in Calabria.
After riding about 5/6 km on a path and dirt track, we will return to the meeting point. The horse ride will last 50 minutes; the total experience will last 1 hour.

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.
A maximum weight of 120 kg is required to participate in this activity.
