Full description

If you like horses but have little experience and would like to measure yourself against a new test, join us for a one-hour ride through the hills, vineyards and olive groves of Montaione, in the province of Florence.

Inside the arena you can make friends with your horse and learn the basic commands, then leave the ranch with your guide and begin your adventure in the saddle.

We don't promise that you will learn to ride like a cowboy, but you will certainly want to try again!

What we will do

We will meet at my ranch in Montaione (FI) at the time chosen for the walk.

We will start with a 10-minute briefing inside the arena, in which I will explain how to interact with the horse to gain its trust, how to sit correctly and the basic commands for the walk.

Only after you have gained the necessary confidence will we be ready to leave the arena. The approximately 5 km-long route will take us past vineyards, olive groves and truffle fields in the surrounding area. We will pass by a farm that produces Chianti wine, proceeding at pace on wide, unobstructed country roads.

A romantic hilly landscape will frame our horseback ride. If we are lucky, along the way we may encounter roe deer, fawns, pheasants and other animals that live in an area set aside for the repopulation of wildlife.

At the end of the trail, we will return to the stables. The experience lasts a total of 1 hour, including briefing and walk.

Who it is aimed at

The activity is suitable for everyone from the age of 14. Minors may also participate unaccompanied by an adult.

No horse riding experience is required, as the course is designed for beginners.

The maximum weight the horses can carry is 95 kg.
