Everything you need to know before a horseback ride
The first thing to know is that anyone can ride a horse. There are no minimum requirements, other than being in good health and being at least 14 years old. Before setting off on the ride, the equestrian guides give an introductory lesson on basic riding techniques and the main commands to be given to the horses. Novices and beginners are assigned the most docile specimens to ensure a pleasant and safe experience.
Horseback riding can be done on simple, mostly flat trails or on more technical routes that require mastery in all gaits (stride, trot and gallop). Comfortable clothing and durable long pants should be worn. This type of activity has no seasonality: if the weather is good, you can ride all year round, even in snow.
Horseback riding Lombardy: the best places for a riding tour
The countryside, lakes and mountains are the backdrops for horseback riding tours in Lombardy. Lake Como and Lake Garda are ideal for a relaxing ride with panoramic views. The countryside of Pavia, Mantua, and Lodi are perfect for ending the ride with a typical farmhouse lunch. Those who prefer mountain locations, however, can ride on the trails along the Adda River in Valtellina.
Lombardy offers a diverse range of equestrian activities. Equestrian centers and farmhouses with riding stables can be found in Bergamo, Varese, Como, Brescia and all other provinces. Even those who want to go horseback riding in Milan can find solutions just beyond the city limits.
How much does a horseback ride cost in Lombardy?
Prices for horseback rides depend on the location, duration, difficulty of the route, and any services included in the activity. On average, the basic experience involving a 1-hour horseback ride costs 25 to 35 euros per person.

Everything perfect
We had a great time with my daughter, the horses Queen and Bruno ( what a fantastic name ) were exceptional, calm and ready to obey and eat everything around them, from bamboo to grass. Really nice experience for inexperienced people like us for whom getting on a horse is not exactly trivial.

Highly recommended!
A pleasant and relaxing experience surrounded by nature in contact with animals. Also recommended for those who have never ridden a horse because the animals are docile and used to this activity. The staff was very helpful and attentive.

A beautiful experience, ...
A wonderful experience, Guido (who acted as my guide) was very kind and welcoming. The park is wonderful and it was very exciting to see it in its autumn colours on the last sunny days. Well-kept and docile horses. In summary, a wonderful experience that I would suggest to nature and horse lovers. This walk was a birthday present I had been waiting to redeem for a few months. Absolutely to be repeated.
