Full description
He is meteoropathic, can sleep standing up or lying down and is always thirsty. We are not talking about your best friend but about the horse!
If you too have some curiosity about this splendid animal and want to get closer to the world of horse riding, come and try this horseback ride through the wonderful hills of the Mugello Valley.
Get in tune with nature and ride 5 km on dirt tracks together with an equestrian guide: it will be an hour and a half of calm, serenity and beautiful landscapes.
What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Barberino di Mugello (FI), where our equestrian guide will be waiting for us. Upon our arrival, the horses will already be saddled and ready to start the ride. Before starting the experience, the guide will hold a briefing lasting about 10 minutes during which he will explain how to give simple commands to the horse and how to mount safely.
Once in the saddle, we will start walking along dirt tracks and white roads and immerse ourselves in a beautiful hilly landscape. The first part of the excursion will be dedicated to reaching a panoramic terrace from which we will be able to admire the Mugello Valley, Lake Bilancino and the villages of Scarperia and Borgo San Lorenzo.
We will then proceed until we reach the Sieve River which, at the point where we will cross it, looks more like a stream. When we reach the other bank, we will enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature and the company of our valiant steed for a while longer before concluding the roughly 5-km route by returning to the meeting point.
The activity, including briefing, lasts a total of one and a half hours.
