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.

Very friendly staff, lovely walk – it’s a shame it was so hot; we’ll come back when it’s cooler. The walk along the beach was lovely.

Highly recommended
A brilliant horse ride through the woods, with an initial briefing to learn the basics of Western-style riding, followed by a guide accompanying us throughout the ride. The horses are well-trained and well-looked after, ideal for first-timers like us.nLunch at the farmhouse is excellent, comprising a mixed starter, a choice of first course, a set main course, drinks and coffee.
