Horseback riding: everything you need to know
Horse riding is a suitable activity even for those who have never ridden a horse before. In this case, before setting off, the guides offer a short introductory lesson on basic horsemanship techniques, during which they teach the basic commands to give the horses. Horseback riding tours take place mainly on nature trails, varying in length and difficulty.
The most commonly used gait is the walk, while the trot and gallop are used only in itineraries aimed at those who are already experienced. Horseback riding can be practiced year-round, even in the snow. You should always wear closed shoes and long, sturdy pants to avoid irritation from contact and friction. Helmet and technical equipment are provided by the riding school.
Horseback riding on Lake Garda: the best locations
The Alto Garda Bresciano Park offers numerous itineraries to enjoy a horseback ride overlooking the lake. Tremosine and Toscolano Maderno are the places from which to set off on trails immersed in the greenery of the protected natural area between the Riviera dei Limoni and the Prealps.
On the borders of Trentino, the town of Arco is the starting point for many outdoor activities, including horseback riding from Alto Garda to the Dolomites. On the Veneto side, too, there are stables and farmhouses with horses that offer excursions for riders of all levels.
How much does a horseback riding tour on Lake Garda cost?
Prices for a horseback ride on Lake Garda vary mainly by duration. For example, a 1-hour tour costs 30 euros, while a day trip with lunch included costs 120 euros. A multi-day horse riding experience starts at 500 euros, all-inclusive.
Gifting a horseback riding tour, why is it a great idea?
A horseback ride can be a wonderful gift. Whether it is for a birthday, graduation, anniversary or any other occasion, an activity in nature is always the right idea. A horseback ride will be a welcome moment of relaxation, accompanied by the excitement of being in contact with animals and the wonder of admiring unique landscapes. Do you need any more reasons?

First time for him back in the saddle for me
Very nice experience, we were treated very well My husband had never ridden a horse before and was very afraid, but they immediately put him at ease and he was able to fully enjoy the experience, which he ended up enjoying very much

Easy ride with helpful staff
The staff was very kind when we arrived. They asked about our experience level with riding and gave us the instructions we needed. They also took some photos of our group and shared them with us. The horses definitely already knew their way on the trail, so riding was fairly easy. The trail we road on started as a dirt driveway and the rest was grassy. We rode a square pattern on flat ground around grape vines. One side of the path was between the vines and the highway and several people honked their horns. Most of the horses were ok with this, but at one point it did cause one of the horses to get a little feisty. The staff gave calm instructions on how to handle this. The staff was great, the scenery was ok and the horses were easy to ride.

My daughter and I got on well, we went out with the guide who took us through the vineyards. Quiet and docile horses for the first experience as a saddle baptism.
