What to expect

You'll meet your guide at the ride location and be matched with a suitable horse for your ability. The two-hour route takes you at a steady pace through mixed terrain—shaded forest paths, open grassland, and quiet lanes past traditional villages. The guide manages the group's rhythm and offers pointers on handling your mount. Expect a mix of walking and gentle trotting. Weather in Tuscany can shift, so arrive dressed in layers and sturdy footwear.
