A horseback ride is an opportunity to relax, switch off and totally immerse yourself in nature. Riding quietly on trails immersed in nature lets you experience the best of the area and discover the excitement of a slow and environmentally sustainable tourism. Being in contact with animals is a joy for adults and children alike and it's a great way to spend time outdoors.
Equestrian clubs, riding schools and farmhouses with riding stables organize horseback riding tours in Lombardy and other equestrian-related activities. From Ticino Park to Lake Garda, from the Adda Park to Lake Como, everyone will be able to find the solution best suited to their needs.

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.
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.
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.
A horseback ride can be an original and fun gift idea: whether it’s a birthday, graduation or any other occasion. Spending a few hours surrounded by greenery while riding a magnificent horse is a great way to reconnect with nature and regenerate from the stresses of daily life. The rides are always led by professional equestrian guides so that everyone can enjoy themselves safely. There’s truly no better gift.

Splendid experience in the midst of nature. It was rejuvenating, in the snow in the valley. The guys are very nice and the horses beautiful and calm. I recommend it to anyone who wants to spend an afternoon in a different and relaxing way.
