Full description
It is said that once upon a time, in a single night, a knight managed to conquer as much territory as he could cover on horseback.
We do not promise you a kingdom, but an adventure between nature and history!
1-hour horseback ride through silent forests and ancient Roman roads to theAbbey of Santa Giustina in Sezzadio, which still harbours secrets and legends.
Your journey may not redraw boundaries, but it will give you the pleasure of exploring the surroundings of Alessandria and Monferrato in a unique and fascinating way: on horseback.
What we will do
We will meet at the Sezzadio (AL) stables, where beautiful horses - Quarter Horses, Andalusians, Argentines and Appaloosa - will be saddled and ready to go.
After a 30-minute lesson on riding, we will learn how to communicate with the horse and move in harmony with it. Then our adventure will begin.
We will embark on a 4-kilometre route along dirt tracks in the middle of nature, through lush forests and ancient Roman roads. During the walk, the guide will accompany us on horseback, telling us curiosities about the history of these places, from Roman knights to the fascinating legend of the Marquis of Monferrato.
We will then reach theAbbey of Santa Giustina, a Lombard jewel shrouded in mystery, where we will stop for a moment to find out more about the stories and legends that hover around this place.
Finally, we will return to the starting point after a walk of about 1 hour. The experience lasts a total of about 1.5 hours between lecture and hike.
