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.

16 Oct 2026 | Horse riding by the river in Valchiavenna

Peace and quiet, relaxation and… plenty of nature!

It was a fantastic experience! My partner and I chose the 2-hour ride and were accompanied by Alessio and Nicole, two friendly guides who were always on hand to help us! The ranch is very large and has a large number of horses. The place is clean and welcoming, and the horses are looked after really well! Monday and Brumi, the two horses that accompanied us on this wonderful ride, were very calm (as if they knew it was our first time :) )nI highly recommend this activity – it really is suitable for everyone! All set against the backdrop of the stunning Valchiavenna landscape on the banks of the River Mera!
