There are many ways to fully enjoy holidays on the Etruscan Coast, one of which is on horseback, for a slow journey in close contact with nature. It is precisely this indelible experience that we want to talk to you about today, telling you how riding between sea and pine forest can be the highlight of your next holiday in Tuscany.
Imagine riding a beautiful horse, immersing yourself in the landscape, inhaling the scent of pine, lime and tamarisk trees and observing the world from an unusual point of view. All this is possible, and we guarantee that it is something sensational, because we have experienced it!
Situated about one kilometer from the hotel and easily reached by a 15-minute walk through the pine forest, the Riding School Lo Sperone is one of our regular stops and we recommend it to both young and old for a different afternoon – perhaps when the weather is not quite right – and for taking a break from the beach.
The riding school is located in a green and shady setting and offers a variety of activities for the whole family. Below are some activities to do at the riding school so that you can add these experiences to your wish list for your next holiday with us!
Ponies for children
Freccia, Elena, Birillo, Meringa … this is the pony gang at Lo Sperone Riding School! Here, children can get closer to the world of horses and riding through a protected trail inside the riding school. You can ride the cute ponies accompanied by an adult for a ride of about 10 minutes at a cost of €5. At the end of the ride carrots for everyone (the ponies, of course)! There is also an area with tables where children can stop for a snack in the cooler.
Not just horses
Lo Sperone is the place to get acquainted not only with horses and ponies but also with many other farm animals: chickens and roosters, rabbits, pigs, goats, ducks and many more. These animals can be found in their pastures and you can feed them hay, seed or fresh grass.
Horseback riding excursions
You can choose horseback rides of an hour, an hour and a half or two hours at the riding school. The rides in the beautiful pine forest of Marina di Castagneto are also suitable for absolute beginners from the age of 14. In the months from October to April there is the possibility of riding on the beach: an unforgettable experience! Imagine with us: you on a horse, first a ride through the pine forest with the scent of resin and then the Mediterranean maquis and the dunes, a scent of plants mingling with the saltiness, the crashing of the waves on the shore and finally the sunset… dreaming, isn’t it?
Horse riding school
If you are staying longer in Marina di Castagneto Carducci, you might also consider private riding lessons with specialized staff in Western riding and English riding. Lessons are suitable for children and adults of all levels.
Horse boarding
Lo Sperone also offers a full boarding service for horses, both in boxes and paddocks. The riding school is open all year round.
