Full description
Is this your first horse riding experience?
You couldn't make a better choice: riding lesson and horseback ride, for a carefree first time in the saddle. In the company of a riding guide, you will learn the basics of the discipline and ride for 1 hour against the backdrop of the Maiella National Park.
An activity lasting a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes, in the heart of Abruzzo's "green lung"!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Pratola Peligna (AQ). We will be welcomed at the stables by the equestrian guide who will accompany us on this adventure in the saddle!
Once all participants have gathered, we will head to the training ground where we will meet the horses. We will then proceed to saddle up and begin the riding lesson, during which we will learn the basics of the discipline for a carefree first horse riding experience. This first part will last approximately 30 minutes.
This will be followed by our horseback ride: we will follow a mainly flat path along the Sagittario river and enter the woods of the Maiella National Park, the 'green lung' of Abruzzo. Along the way at the foot of Monte Morrone, we will also spot the Orsa Castle.
We will finally return to the meeting point. The horse ride will last 1 hour; the total experience will last 1 hour and 30 minutes.

The experience is suitable for ages 14 and up. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied to the riding school by an adult to sign a release form.
