An equestrian guide will lead you through the woods of the province of Alessandria and the rolling hills of the Monferrato region for a unique experience in total safety.

End the experience on a high note by returning to the stables to enjoy a delicious aperitif based on typical local products: cheese, cold cuts, spritz or local wine... Already on your way? We are waiting for you!

What we will do

The appointment will be at the time selected when booking at the stud farm in Melazzo, in the province of Alessandria. After meeting the expert guide, we will begin to approach the horse from the ground, brushing and saddling it.

At this point the guide will give a briefing on the safety rules to be followed and we will begin to get on the saddle for our first ride at the stable. We will spend about 10 minutes at the camp learning the basics: how to start, what commands to give the horse to turn and how to stop.

We will then be ready to set off on our ride along a 2.5 km route in the company of the equestrian guide, who will ensure total safety at all times. Passing through the woods and hills of Monferrato, we will reach the Castle of Moncrescente. Here we will ride through the ruins of the castle while the guide tells us the interesting story.

After about an hour in the saddle proceeding at a leisurely pace, we will return to the stables where a tasty aperitif will be waiting for us with cheese, typical local cold cuts, focaccia, pizzette, spritz or local wine.

The activity will last a total of 2 hours, including a briefing, a horseback riding tour of the stable, a walk and an aperitif.
