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.

Gift a horseback riding tour: an adventure in contact with nature and animals

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.

25 Sep 2023 | One-hour horse riding along the Serio River

Fantastic experience

I have to say that this was my first time riding a horse and getting close to the horses almost made me afraid... by the end of the experience, however, I was snuggled up to them and didn't want to leave! Great experience, courteous staff and very sweet horses... they stole our hearts!!! We can't wait to do it again!!! We only regret that we didn't manage to take photos on horseback, but that was probably also due to our agitation as first timers! The ranch also offers the possibility to go on walks with beautiful alpacas... to try that too!!! We will definitely be back!

13 Sep 2023 | 2-hour horse riding along the Serio River

A pleasant experience, perhaps the choice of two hours of horseback riding was risky, with the same pace for two hours. The horse assigned was definitely non-violent due to seniority but was also very independent, stopped often, uncooperative, maybe it's my beginner's inexperience but these are things to be considered when leaving a horse to an inexperienced client. The staff however was very friendly and nice. The price quite high but in line with those around. Thanks for everything, I recommend it as an experience

05 Nov 2023 | 2-hour horse riding tour in the Parco Adda Sud

very nice experience

the riding school is in the middle of nature in the Adda park, the horses are beautiful and well kept. The guide leads the group and does the walk. there is no introductory lesson, but the horses instinctively follow each other so you don't need to have experience. if there had been an introduction before the walk it would have been perfect 5 star, to get to know the horse and have the basics to manage it, maybe even helping to prepare and 'dress' the horses for the outing. Regardless it was a great experience!

Fantastic!

We were welcomed by a serious and well-prepared staff supported by young volunteers who always showed commitment and care towards us. Valentina and Miriana immediately made us feel at ease, the excursion took place in a real paradise on earth and fording the river was really exciting! The animals are very well kept, the excursion was perfect for us beginners but can also be adapted for the more experienced. I highly recommend it! Thanks again to Pirola Ranch and Freedom who introduced us to it!

Birthday gift

Finally a horse ride that was not at all boring and quiet My boyfriend and I were entertained and didn't stop smiling from the moment we arrived to the moment we left! He had never been on a horse before but he felt comfortable and relaxed, I relaxed and enjoyed the whole ride especially the part where you pass by the lake I hope to come back soon, especially to see Carolina and Gru (horse and piglet😂😂😂😂) Again, beautiful estate, the animals are pampered and cared for ❤️

Beautiful walk

Wonderful ride through the fields near the Serio river. The route also includes some river crossings, during which the horses can drink and the guide takes photos of the participants. The route is mostly flat, with some small ascents/descents suitable for beginners. We booked the 6 p.m. tour and were able to watch the sunset on horseback to enjoy an even more impressive landscape. Absolutely super recommended!
