Horseback Riding in the Emilian Hills from Vergato

Gentle trails through woods and streams, at a pace that lets you breathe in the landscape.

Horseback riding through the Emilian Hills departing from Vergato, with a professional equestrian guide, riding equipment and a brief introduction to help you get comfortable with your horse. The scenic route winds through peaceful trails, woods and streams at a leisurely pace suitable for first-time riders, couples, families and groups of friends.

The experience

You start with a short introduction from your guide: enough to learn the basic commands and get comfortable in the saddle before you head out. The ride itself follows a scenic route through the gentle hills, winding past lush trails, quiet woods and small streams. The pace is unhurried, built so you can take in the landscape and breathe the fresh air without strain. A professional equestrian guide leads the way, so you're not figuring out the route or managing the horse alone.

The whole experience runs about an hour, though you can book a two-hour option if you want more time on the trails. You depart from Vergato and return to the stable there, where you say goodbye to your horse and wrap up. The guide speaks English or Italian, so language is not a barrier. Riding equipment is provided, and the experience is designed to be accessible whether you've ridden before or this is your first time on a horse.
