Everything you need to know before going horseback riding
The first thing to know is that anyone can ride a horse and enjoy a day in nature. It is not necessary to have previous experience or to be an experienced rider. Rome’s equestrian clubs offer experiences of all types, from entry-level trails to more challenging routes or multi-day horseback riding trips.
Those who have never ridden will rely on experienced equestrian guides to help them learn how to approach horses in the best way possible. Before setting off, the guides will hold a basic lesson on the fundamental techniques in order to later enjoy the ride in serenity. In addition, guides will assign the most docile horses to beginners to make the experience even safer.
Horseback riding Rome: the best routes
Among the various horseback riding tours that are possible in Rome, the Ostia area offers several possibilities. One can ride near the archaeological area of Ostia Antica or inside the pine forest along the coast. These routes are open to everyone, while horseback riding on the beach requires previous experience.
Several riding centers in Rome, organize horseback riding tours along the banks of the Tiber or on the Appia Antica. This way, anyone who wants to experience horseback riding can do so without going outside the city limits.
Moving just a few kilometers from Rome, one can go horseback riding to the Castelli Romani, Lake Bracciano and Martignano, and the most beautiful hill towns of Lazio.
How much does it cost to go horseback riding in Rome?
Prices for a horseback riding experience vary depending on the starting location, the length and characteristics of the trail, and the offered services. Horseback riding in Rome starts at 25 euros per person for an easy route in the Ostia pine forest. Also in Ostia, a horseback ride on the beach is priced at 99 euros, but the experience also includes a wine and produce tasting.
