What you can expect

Please arrive 10 minutes before your chosen time at the meeting point, which is located approximately 15 minutes from the center of Siena. We will be welcomed by the equestrian guide who will accompany us on this horseback adventure!

Once all participants have gathered, there will be an introduction on the ground, followed by mounting the horses and an explanation of the basics of horseback riding. We will then have a chance to become familiar with our horses before heading out on the ride.

Once all the riders are ready, we will leave the riding stable to venture into the Montagnola Senese Park, following the Via Francigena.
The route will take us through breathtaking landscapes, with trails winding through lush forests, green hills, and golden fields. This will be an opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in nature, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of everyday life and embracing the peace and quiet that only the countryside can offer.
We will pass by the Eremo di San Leonardo al Lago (Hermitage of St. Leonard at the Lake), a place steeped in holiness and spirituality. Nestled in the tranquility of nature, this ancient hermitage offers an atmosphere of peace and serenity.

Finally, we will return to the meeting point. The horseback ride will last approximately 70 minutes; the total experience will last 1.5 hours.

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