What to expect
Your guide will start with fundamentals on horse behaviour and basic riding technique before you mount up. The ride itself takes you through quiet woods and pastoral landscapes at an easy pace—expect a mix of walking and gentle movement rather than galloping. The horses are trained, calm animals; your guide manages the group and pace throughout. Back at base, you'll sit down to authentic Umbrian fare paired with local wine, giving you time to cool down and reflect on the ride.
