“Amazing! Took many pictures for me and the horses was so calm and cute! Highly recommend”
Ride calm horses through Siena’s vineyards and olive groves with a small-group guide, plus possible wine or farm stops.
“This trail ride was fantastic. Our guide was excellent with lots of local knowledge and excellent English. Her horses were lovely gentle and well behaved. She took us on one of the most beautiful rides through the tuscan hills, vinyards and farms. It was all at a walk so no horse skill required. Seeing the new foals was a bonus.”
A guided horseback ride from Siena into the Chianti hills, with helmet, horse matched to your level, and quiet trails tied to Via Francigena.
“Not a bad horse ride, but if you’re after a life changing experience lower your expectations. Place was rough around the edges, horses weren’t great for learners and were also very underweight. I’m an experienced rider and did enjoy the ride but we had a group of 10+ and some were complete beginners and found the ride/the horse’s behaviour scary at times. They shouldn’t really have had a group that big.”
