Full description
If an aperitif with friends is a must for you at the weekend, this horse riding excursion in the Seriana Valley is the right choice!
Learn how to take care of a horse and all the secrets of getting in tune with it in an hour-long approach to horse riding. Then learn how to ride with the advice of anexperienced riding guide.
Set off on an excursion into nature and let yourself be bewitched by the view of Presolana. On your return to the farm, a tasty aperitif with typical Bergamo flavours will be waiting for you, including a platter of cold meats and cheeses, a dessert, water and coffee.
What we will do
We will meet in the early afternoon at the meeting point in Onore (BG). Awaiting us will be anexperienced equestrian guide who will assign us a horse and accompany us on a one-hour approach to riding.
For the first 30 minutes we will devote ourselves entirely to caring for our valiant steed in order to get in tune with it. We will brush him, saddle him and prepare him to be ridden. In jargon, this first contact is called grooming.
And you, did you know this? No? Then it's a good thing that the next 30 minutes will be devoted to learning some useful information about the world of riding, horses and their habits. In particular, we will learn how to handle our horse during a walk. By the end of the lesson, balancing on the saddle and giving him simple commands will seem so easy!
Finally ready, we will follow our equestrian guide on afascinating one-hourhike through nature. We will ride for 6 km on dirt and gravel roads, meadows and even some mountain trails. The height difference will be minimal and the walk will be all at a walking pace. Riding our valiant steed, we will stroll through the Seriana Valley in a totally carefree atmosphere and be enchanted by the sight of the Presolana mountain massif.
At the end of the ring-route, we will take a seat in a farmhouse and indulge in a tasty aperitif (included) with typical Bergamo flavours, which will include a platter of cold meats and cheeses, a dessert, water and coffee.
The experience lasts a total of 2 and a half hours, including approaching the horse, excursion and aperitif.
