Adventure is calling you!
What we will do
We will meet at my ranch in Montaione (FI) at the time chosen for the ride.
Before leaving, we will meet the horses in the arena, become familiar with them and go over basic commands. At this point, mounted in the saddle, we will be ready to leave the stables.
We will ride along wide country roads for a distance of about 10 km. We will proceed mainly at a walking pace, but at some points you can try higher speeds, if you feel up to it, of course.
We will pass the land of some farms that produce Chianti wine, as well as olive groves and truffle fields that characterise the hills of Montaione. Towards the middle of our route we will meet the Evola river, which in the summer months we can also cross on horseback.
At the end of the tour we will return to the riding stables. The experience lasts a total of 1.5 hours, including briefing and walk.
