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.

The blackest walk ever
Fantastic experience! For me it was my first time on a horse, I really enjoyed it, great people, very good at their job and very helpful. The ride lasted 1 hour and was relaxing, in contact with nature at 360 degrees. The horses were beautiful animals and very good. I would recommend it to everyone

Beautiful experience in nature
This hour-long horseback ride with my daughter in the peace and quiet of the Ticino Park was very nice indeed. The meeting point was easy to find and there was ample parking; many horses were available and on display, some even ready for competitions. Very relaxed atmosphere, no hurry and the guide Karol all to ourselves. Karol is very professional and friendly, and the two horses we rode, Zeus and Eva, really nice and well-trained. We also did some trail riding at a trot. In short, a beautiful, relaxing experience in nature that we recommend.

A magical place surrounded by wonderful people and animals. The ranch is strategically located to enjoy nature, the proximity of the river allows you to spend moments of relaxation. The ranch is very well kept, you immediately notice the seriousness and professionalism. Definitely a gem to discover and keep with care and love! Thank you Valentina
