If you want to relax in the green countryside and savour the emotions of a landscape filled with olive groves, vineyards, Cyprus trees, parishes and castles then a horse-ride will help to regenerate yourself and at the same time capture the unforgettable magical sprit of this land.

What is better than pleasantly combining a farm holiday with a horse-riding holiday at the same time, experiencing real hand to hand contact with nature between excursions, relax and good food?

Farm holidays with horse-riding stables have increased over the years: while staying on a farm holiday, horse-riding lovers usually have the chance to attend a riding school, which provides qualified instructors in the stables, or enjoy themselves going for horse rides in the surrounding countryside, often with an assistant, along selected routes based on the different levels of difficulty and ability.

For those who are already quite expert and want to venture out horse-trekking there are specialised associations who organise horse-riding trips of more than one day using bridleways. Many farm holidays have fixed arrangements with organisations which deal with equestrian tourism. Indeed many of the bridleways are near farm holidays equipped with horse stables and comfortable lodging for riders.

Even if you're not an expert, a holiday on a farm holiday could become an occasion to learn about the horse as a “means of transport” which respects the environment and an intelligent companion in the discovery of the countryside, and it is both an all-round and enjoyable sport.

In other words, there are many reasons for staying on a farm holiday to enjoy a horse-riding holiday in Italy; visit our tourist portal and choose from the various farm holiday offers ideal for practising equitation.
