Discover Chianti on Horseback
Firstly, Chianti is very well equipped for all types of equestrian activity. There are a lot of farmhouses equipped with handlings or equestrian centres that, with expertise and kindness, can guide you in this discovery in full safety. Horseback riding is really an activity for all ages! For example, the Equestrian Centre of Berardenga, in Castelnuovo Berardenga, is a "certified centre by FISE” (=Italian Federation of Equestrian Sports), which organizes horse riding of a few hours as well as multiday excursions, courses – also for children - and entire weeks on horseback! (https://www.chiantiriding.it). Another possibility is the Marcianella Farm in Castellina in Chianti, or the handlings connected with San Niccolò Palace where you can find horses perfectly trained for Western or English riding. Also the association "Toscana Mia"(=My Tuscany), with its Equestrian Club Agrifoglio, will be able to let you taste Chianti “trotting" (https://www.toscana-mia.it).
Horse riding in Chianti is a unique and unforgettable experience: immerse yourself in the silence of nature, accompanied by the clatter of horses, in a relaxed atmosphere while your gaze is lost among the rows of the vines.
Very often the horseback excursions include pleasant lunches or tasting in wineries and farmhouses that are along the path and that would be more difficult to reach on foot. After all, we know that the horses should rest a little from time to time. So why not to take advantage of their rest? …Your riding holiday in Chianti really risks becoming a very pleasant adventure!
