Full description
If you've run out of ideas for the weekend, get off the couch and immerse yourself in nature with this exciting horse riding experience!
Spend an hour at a riding stables taking care of the horse you will be entrusted with, letting yourself be taken on an approach to this beautiful animal. Build up a perfect tune with the advice of anexperienced equestrian guide and then let yourself be led on aone-hour horseback ride in the Seriana Valley.
After the ride, savour the flavours of Bergamo cuisine with an agritourism lunch that will include a choice of two land courses, water, dessert and coffee. Surrounded by mountains and with a spectacular view of Presolana, you won't regret home for a second!
What we will do
We will meet in the morning at the meeting point in Onore (BG). Anexperienced equestrian guide will be waiting for us, 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-hourexcursion into nature. We will ride on dirt and white 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 6-km round trip, we will take a seat in the farmhouse's cosy restaurant to savour the flavours of Bergamo cuisine over a well-deserved lunch (included) that will include a choice of two land courses, water, dessert and coffee.
The experience lasts a total of 3 hours, including approaching the horse, hike and lunch.
