What we will do

The meeting place is the Ragusa stables, the ideal starting point for our horseback ride. We will be welcomed by an equestrian guide who will provide us with all the explanations necessary to learn how to handle the horse.

There will be an initial phase of approaching the horse, in which we will learn how to get in tune with it, how to mount the horse and how to tension and relax the reins as needed.

After learning the basic manoeuvres for handling the horse, we will do an initial trial ride within the riding arena and only then will we set off on our ride.

We willride for about an hour in the Hyblean countryside until we reach the ancient Donnafugata Castle. Along the way, we will ride on paths lined with greenery, cross the typical 'trazzere' and even catch a glimpse of the coastline.

The total duration of the experience is 1 hour and a quarter.
