The Roman countryside, the Lake Bracciano, the Appia Antica and Ostia's coastline are perfect places to visit while riding a horse. For those who want to stay within the city limits, it is possible to go horseback riding in Rome along the banks of the Tiber.

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.
Gift ideas: organize your own horseback riding tour in Rome
A horseback ride can be an original idea for a birthday gift or to celebrate an important event such as a graduation, anniversary or any other occasion. By choosing an experience with riding and lunch or tasting, you will gift an unforgettable day.

Fantastic experience
We opted for the four-hour excursion visiting the Etruscan ruins. I was amazed! Let's start from the premise that this is not the first horse-riding experience I've had with my partner and this riding school is really something exceptional, as soon as we arrived we were offered a drink and a good coffee, presentation with the horses since it's not the usual excursion where the horses move only and exclusively behind the guide, but rather they follow your commands and also follow them impeccably! We began our journey amidst evocative scenery among hills, sea views, and paths articulated between trotting, galloping and walking. The guide always put us at ease, explaining everything to us and keeping us constantly under control for any problems that might arise with the animals. At a certain point we crossed a small canal where the horses cooled down, drank and we took the opportunity to enjoy the unique scenery even more! The trail continued towards the Etruscan necropolis which, in my humble opinion, must be visited at least once in a lifetime.... Even better if done astride a horse because you really feel part of the context! The instructor or guide explained to us in great detail what these fantastic ruins and their history were. Explanations that were more than sufficient and said with a simplicity that not even my history teacher in high school and never managed to arouse my interest so much. After this step, we started our walk towards the 'base' where once again we trotted on the grasslands with a view of the sea in the distance that were so magnificent that they made you remain silent to enjoy the most of that impressive view. An experience to be absolutely repeated, perhaps with the waterfalls this time that surely have nothing to envy to other places in the world! In short. Super satisfied and I also wanted to thank the guide because she was of a unique sweetness and professionalism! Thank you thank you thank you!

A beautiful, priceless and indelible memory
Super super recommended! On my partner's birthday, we arrived at the ranch for the horseback ride I had given her, booked a couple of weeks before with Freedome. It was a magnificent experience, certainly for the beauty in itself of the Tolfa mountains, but above all for Marco's ability to present and narrate them, conveying his truly authentic and ancestral respect for Mother Nature. He is someone who studies and knows deep down what he is talking about. Fantastic horses, with whom we developed a very good rapport despite the fact that it was the first time with them, and in general on horseback, both for my companion and for me. Not insignificantly, we were a small group so we were able to have a very interactive experience. A walk, in fact, enriched with anecdotes about the territory and Marco and his family's relationship with it. A wonderful family who then joined us for an aperitif at the end of the walk, where we tasted products made by them using raw materials from the territory, therefore available according to season, and which they sell in hermetically sealed containers or offer in a restaurant they run in Bracciano on the lake (we will try to book without a shadow of a doubt!). Even during the aperitif, time flew by pleasantly and we did not realise that it was getting dark. A special mention, which I make last but not least, for the willingness to prepare a birthday cake, again homemade with blackberries picked that morning. I had called a few days before and we agreed immediately. For the next horseback ride, we had no doubts about who to trust, and we were thinking of trying a multi-day experience which, as we understood it, is one of the types of experience that Marco organises

PERFECT!!!
We had a wonderful and special day... Even before our magical experience we were contacted by Marco who fortified us with the last details and information for the big day. When we arrived at the place Marco welcomed us. Super friendly, very welcoming, offering us coffee, having a very pleasant chat to get to know each other better and explaining everything we needed to know before our ride given our little horse riding experience. It was really nice to spend time in nature, with the animals, hear the explanations and see the breathtaking scenery. You can see that Marco takes what he does very seriously, professionally and passionately. This made us even more passionate. Francesca brought us a delicious and much appreciated apperitif with products made by them. Between chatting and laughing everything was even more perfect and fun. Getting to know Marco and Francesca even more gave us nothing but pleasure. Our walk continued with a lunch in the middle of the woods prepared by chef Marco. Everything was absolutely exquisite with a sophisticated and gourmet menu. From the wine to the first course to the dessert all delicious. Being animal lovers we loved every animal but especially the dogs and our mascot Ultimo who accompanied us all the way. Absolute sweetness. On our return to the stables a coffee was waiting for us to end this wonderful experience. Thank you very much for making this anniversary special. Thank you so much to Marco, Francesca, Chef Marco, Ultimo, Lascito and Lucio. See you very soon!! Recommended of course!!!

An unforgettable day
I was looking for the perfect gift for my partner's birthday and as luck would have it, I stumbled upon this wonderful place. I chose a couple's excursion on horseback in the Tolfa Mountains, with lunch in the middle of the forest. We were welcomed by Marco, his wife and their beautiful dogs. They made us feel immediately at home with their warmth and after a good coffee, our adventure began: 7 unforgettable hours spent on horseback, including very interesting explanations about the equine world, breathtaking views and close encounters with Maremma cows and horses reared in the wild. There was no shortage of stops for refreshments. The mid-morning one was much appreciated, with a picnic of red wine and freshly baked focaccia with wild fennel sauce and capers. Not to mention lunch in the middle of the forest, with genuine and delicious dishes to lick your lips. A sincere thank you to Marco, his staff (including Ultimo, the very affectionate dog who led the way all the way) and his wonderful family. You have remained in our hearts and we will undoubtedly return to see you again.

Thank you, thank you very much!
I gave this experience to my boyfriend for his birthday and I've never been so happy with a choice! Marco, the guide, managed to turn my fear (as an absolute beginner) into calm, making us experience a fantastic day! He never left me alone! We took a tour of over two and a half hours in the wilderness, being able to admire animals living free and in their element up close. An experience that is not only spectacular because of the landscapes (with our gaze we admired from the woods to the sea) but that leaves you with something. The animals, the land, everything must be respected, understood, honoured and too often we do not do this. During this hike, which is so much more, you understand thanks to the passion of the guides how important it is to always remember this. So thank you for letting us experience an afternoon of nature, love for animals, freedom, and having taught us so much! Ps. the focaccia was amazing and the wild herb sauce even more so!

Absolutely to be repeated!!!
I had the opportunity to go on a wonderful horseback ride in the midst of nature. It was organised in a breathtaking setting, surrounded by green meadows, lush forests and beautiful views. The instructor who guided us on the ride was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to the safety of all participants. He gave us valuable information on the characteristics of horses and how to properly interact with them. The walk itself was a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. We moved at a leisurely pace, enjoying the natural beauty around us. It was a great way to learn something new while having fun. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves animals, nature and wants to get away from the daily hustle and bustle. It's a wonderful way to relax, reconnect with nature and enjoy pleasant equine company. We will definitely be back!!! Thanks a lot guys ♥️
