Overview

Discover Tuscany on horseback! Ride through native woods, medieval villages, and blooming meadows on this small-group horseback tour for experienced and intermediate experience levels.

Itinerary

Ride through Tuscany on horseback, through native woods, small rivers, medieval villages, and blooming meadows.

Meet at the Prategiano Stables, where a guide will talk to you about your riding experience and match you with a horse that fits your level and needs. This tour is best for riders with intermediate or advanced experience. Once paired with a horse, you will be given a helmet and you will have a few minutes in the ring to become confident with your horse. Depart through the hills and valleys of Tuscany, eventually climbing up Montieri Hill, where you can take in sweeping views of rolling fields and coastline below. The 2.5-hour tour consists mainly of walking, though there will be opportunities to trot and canter with your horse.

There's both a morning and afternoon option for this tour. If you want to stay overnight, please contact the Hotel Prategiano, 300 meters far (5 minutes walk).

We enjoyed our ride up a mountain in Tuscany. We had about 10 people on the ride which was guided by Mae. The horses were well schooled on the trail and had their own cadence. They told us they were in charge and we were along for the ride . We did not have stops for viewpoints along the way. The highlight was riding through the village of Montieri on our way back to the stables. My horse ended up with a loose shoe on the ride back which concerned me. The tack was less than stellar but the horses had good dispositions for the most part. The La Vacanza Travel directions to the stable were inaccurate via google maps. Find the helipad and you find the stables which are not well marked.

Horse ride was quite average with none to little engagement from group leader/guide. Address details were minimal with only a link to google maps which led you to the middle of a road. Pictures aren’t reflective of actual ride.

We booked here because the description advertised it as a ride for experienced riders, with the possibility trotting and cantering - which didn’t happen (notwithstanding a lot of pleading)! so it was 2 hours of beautiful scenery but at slow walk which allowed the torturous, bitey insects to nibble at us the whole way. This was not the guide’s fault but the usual, inconsiderate, non-riders who tell porkies about their riding abilities (non-existent in this case) and ruin it for everyone else. So not a bad review for the stables but measures should be taken to prevent this from happening. On the plus side the horses are beautifully looked after and well loved by their grooms.

We did the horseback riding excursion and loved it! Beautiful town, hotel and stables. The scenery is breathtaking. The horses were well mannered and the staff incredibly friendly and helpful. We had lunch at the hotel restaurant, and it was lovely and delicious.

When we went it seemed like the barn had just gotten into doing tourist rides and weren't as well prepared for us (especially since we didn't speak Italian, which is our fault). We still had a great time, my boyfriend with no experience was put on a horse that did great for him. I came in with alot of experience but my horse was much less well behaved so I was not able to enjoy it as much. We rode for about 2-3 hours, which honestly is quite alot especially if you are not used to it - so book according to your skill and fitness level!!
