Full description
The best combination for a first horse riding experience: lesson and ride!
We will begin with a 30-minute riding lesson during which you will learn the basics of the discipline and gain confidence in the saddle. This will be followed by a 30-minute horseback ride in the natural setting of Reggello, in the company of an equestrian guide who will take you on a long walk.
The ideal package to get passionate about horse riding!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Reggello (FI). To welcome you at the estate will be me, your equestrian guide!
Upon your arrival, after introducing my beloved horses, I will assign you the one most suited to your physical characteristics. I will then help you into the saddle with English riding and accompany you to the paddock where the riding lesson will take place. Here I will teach you the basics of riding: how to start, how to brake and how to direct the horse; you will understand that every action you take corresponds to a positive reaction from the horse. Over the course of 30 minutes you will practise a series of exercises, gaining more and more confidence in the saddle!
At the end of the lesson, we'll be ready for our horseback ride: we'll take a ring-route around the estate, venturing on footpaths and dirt tracks through olive groves, vineyards and woods. I will follow you on foot for the entire walk, holding you with a lunge that I will loosen until you are in full control of the horse!
We will then return to the meeting point. The horseback ride will last 30 minutes; the total experience will last 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Who it is aimed at
The experience is suitable for children from the age of 3; children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult on the estate.
A maximum weight of 110 kg is required to participate in this activity.
This excursion is of an easy level and suitable for a first horseback ride: the equestrian guide will lead you on foot with a lunge, which he will loosen at his own discretion until you have fully mastered the horse. If the guide verifies that you already have experience on horseback, he or she will lead the walk in the saddle and you can follow it independently.
