After booking this tour we get in touch to ask you some questions about your experience with horses so we can choose the right horse for you.
When we get there we will already know which horse will make a perfect match for each rider.
After greeting your soon-to-be best friend for the next two hours we help you get on the horse and give you the instructions to have a safe, fun and comfortable ride.
Whether you are an experienced rider or a beginner this activity is for you.
Our very friendly and obedient horses are suitable for children and non-skilled riders.
Our horseback rides have beautiful sceneries with unforgettable views that will last forever in your memories.
We have great horses! You can canter and gallop if you feel like it, otherwise we can just go slow to appreciate the views.
After 7 miles we finish the ride, say thank you and goodbye to our beautiful friends and continue to our next stop.
The drive from the horses to the ATVs is around 20 minutes.

Once we get to the ATVs place the bikes will be waiting for us so we can start right away to be trained.
The ride’s duration is 1.5 hours (one hour and a half), not including the initial instructions.
First of all, we give you all the instructions on how to properly ride ATVs so we can make it in the safest way.
Then we provide you with the equipment, namely a helmet and body protection.
We recommend you to wear trekking boots or sneakers but in any case avoid flip flops or sandals.
It is also recommended to bring with you spare clothes for after the ATVs adventure.
This activity is very safe, however we provide an insurance to the tour participants for both the horses and ATVs.
