Horseback riding: what you need to know before setting off on an adventure
The first thing to know is that anyone can ride a horse. For a first experience, the guides prefer to take the participants for a ride on undemanding routes, perhaps around the equestrian center. The horses used for tours are docile and well-trained. An introductory lesson on basic horseback riding techniques or a simple review in the case of those who already have some experience is always given before setting off.
Horseback riding in Umbria: the best tours
Among the most popular spots for horseback riding in Umbria is Foligno, with its unspoiled valleys and blooming countryside. You can go horseback riding in Assisi, Gubbio, Spoleto or Norcia, exploring the surroundings of these fascinating villages in the saddle. Finally, the Alta Valle del Tevere and the Sibillini Mountains are also an excellent choice for horseback riding vacations and total immersion in nature.
How much does it cost to go horseback riding in Umbria?
For a horseback riding tour in Umbria, you spend from 25 to 80 euros per person, depending on the duration and offered services, such as a lunch at an agritourism. For multi-day experiences, such as a horseback riding weekend, the cost for overnight accommodations and related services must also be considered.

Beautiful ride
This was a fantastic experience, at the most stunning route, sweet guide and lovely horses. It was my boyfriends first ride ever, and he had the best day on our whole trip. Would recommend to everyone. The ranch is family owned and are the sweetest and helpful guides.
