Horseback riding in Lazio is ideal for those who wish to relax and unwind after a long day at work. Riding a horse is a relatively basic pastime ideal for both adults and children, and many routes in this region are accessible even to inexperienced riders.

If you've never ridden a horse before, don't let that stop you from participating in this sport. Indeed, we assure you that a guide will constantly be by your side, offering advice and providing pertinent information. Additionally, before the horseback ride, you will be given an initial briefing with the essential safety rules and additional information.

Consider this an ideal occasion for a unique family bonding session because, as previously stated, your children will be allowed to participate as well. The minimum age to participate varies depending on the offer. Kids from the age of 14 (in certain circumstances 16 or 18), will be permitted to take rides outside the equestrian circuit. In this situation, magnificent ponies will be accessible to ride for the children of Lazio.
