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?

Relaxation and bonding with your horse
A very relaxing ride through the vineyards with lovely views. A really lovely experience for anyone who likes to go horse-riding every now and then, or even for those who’d like to give it a go. Very gentle horses☺️

A lovely Sunday afternoon – time to relax
I booked the one-hour ride for my partner and me. We spent a lovely late afternoon surrounded by nature and in the company of Agnese, our guide, who was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable. My partner had been really keen to reconnect with the world of horses, having given up riding years ago, so it was a lovely surprise for him. We really enjoyed the place, the setting and the relaxed atmosphere.nOur guide took some lovely souvenir photos for us and, once the ride was over, we were able to feed apples to the horses.nI highly recommend this experience as a way to escape the hectic daily routine and get closer to the world of horses! It’s also suitable for those, like me, who’ve never been on a horse before!

natural oxygen
You won’t believe it until you’ve experienced it for yourself: an extraordinary experience far removed from the chaotic world of everyday life, spent with the animal that has always been our friend, surrounded by nature.

An experience not to be missed!
I went for a lovely one-hour ride with my boyfriend – the route through the vineyards is well worth it. nKetti will even take some souvenir photos of you on horseback.nThe horses are very calm and incredibly affectionate. You’ll get loads of cuddles at the end of the ride 😍 (especially after giving them a treat 😂).nA huge thank you to the riding centre and Ketti for the tips!nAs a horse lover myself, I highly recommend it!

Absolutely stunning
A truly wonderful experience! 🐎 We had a brilliant time on our horse ride through the vineyards of Lazise. nEven for those, like us, who aren’t used to riding horses, it was a lovely and very peaceful experience. Definitely something a bit different from the usual and something I’d happily do again! 🍇
