What you can expect

Please arrive 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point, about 15 minutes from the centre of Siena. You will be welcomed by the equestrian guide who will accompany you on this horseback adventure!

Once all participants have gathered, there will be an introduction on the ground, followed by mounting and an explanation of the basics of horse riding. We will then have the opportunity to familiarise ourselves with the animals before setting off on our ride. When all riders are ready, we will leave the stables and venture into the Montagnola Senese Park along the Via Francigena.
The route will take us through breathtaking landscapes, with trails winding through lush woods, green hills, and golden fields. It will be an opportunity to immerse yourself completely in nature, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of everyday life and embracing the peace and tranquility that only the countryside can offer.
We will pass in the shadow of the Hermitage of San Leonardo al Lago, a place steeped in sacredness and spirituality. This ancient hermitage, immersed in the quiet of nature, offers an atmosphere of peace and serenity. Finally, we will return to the meeting point. The horseback ride will last approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes; the total experience will last 1 hour and a half.

Our horseback rides are suitable for riders of all levels, from beginners to experts. Our horses are experienced and will take you on a relaxing tour of the Sienese countryside. We have more than 10 horses, so even large groups can enjoy the experience together.
