Destinations in Tuscany for Horse Riding



Tuscany and Horse Riding: what to know

Tuscany is one of the best regions for Horseback Riding Walks.

The region offers a wide diversity of vegetation for excursions within a few miles of major cities. The Val d'Orcia and Val d'Elsa offer splendid rides amidst hills characterized by cypress trees and ancient villages such as Pienza and San Gimignano. Or, the forests of Garfagnana and the fields of Lunigiana, while for horseback riding by the sea and on the beach the best areas are Versilia and Maremma. Finally, Chianti offers the best horseback riding tours in the vineyards.

Horseback treks in Tuscany vary in duration: they range from about 1h up to half a day. The price is between €25 and €40 per hour, depending on the services included. Some facilities, in fact, also offer the possibility of combining the excursion with a local wine tasting or aperitif, or a typical lunch in a riding school with a farmhouse in Tuscany.

These are very fun rides suitable even for beginners, so no previous equestrian experience is necessary.

Discover the best riding stables just minutes from Florence, Livorno, Lucca, Massa, San Gimignano and Pienza, Siena, Pisa and Grosseto!

Horse Riding in the Tuscan countryside outside Florence

The horseback ride in the Tuscan countryside from Rignano sull'Arno, includes a group tour on horseback at the slowest gait (pace), saddle fitting and field practice before departure are included.

Upon arrival you will be asked to sign insurance forms, followed by a full explanation on the ground, on "riding the horse," and on safety, and then you will set off for the ride that will develop according to the package you choose.

Once you feel comfortable, you will begin the actual walk through the Tuscan hills. During the tour, you will take in the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside, with its rolling hills and green fields. Your riding instructor will guide you through scenic trails, giving you the opportunity to enjoy breathtaking views of stunning scenery.

If you have chosen to do only the one-and-a-half hour ride, the ride will end at the stables where you can get off the horse and rest.

If, on the other hand, you have chosen to add the tasting (total time about 3 hours), the walk will take place through the countryside among vineyards, olive groves, cultivated fields and farmhouses that characterize the Tuscan landscape. It will then end in the park of the historic villa Torre a Cona. This is followed by a short walk (3 minutes) to reach the entrance of the villa where clients will be met by the villa staff. Here the guided tour to the small museum and cellars of Torre a Cona will begin, where the production processes from vine to bottle will be explained. This will conclude inside the old barn, with a tasting of four of the Villa's production wines accompanied by a plate of local cheeses. At the conclusion you will be taken back to the stables by van. The experience lasts about 3 hours (including about an hour and a half in the saddle).

Either way, horseback riding in the Tuscan hills is an unforgettable experience that will introduce you to the beauty and culture of Tuscany.
