Where to go horseback riding in Marche?

• Province of Pesaro Urbino:
For those who enjoy horseback riding along rivers, the pathways beginning in Fano and leading through the woods and farmland surrounding the Metauro river are recommended. Lake Solazzi is also one of the most picturesque places you'll visit during your journey. The best equestrian riding is along the Foglia river, which can be reached from Pesaro. We recommend horseback riding in Fermignano or Belforte all'Isauro, among the valleys and wooded roads of Montefeltro, if you like a mountain view.

• Province of Macerata (Apiro):
- Monte San Vicino Regional Naturale Reserve: If you're in the area, horseback riding in the Monte San Vicino Regional Nature Reserve is a must. The entire park is worth seeing, but the geological and faunal components and the park's greenery, are the main draws for visitors. For horseback riders, the beech woodland in Canfaito or the stunning artificial lake of Cignoli is recommended.

- Monti Sibillini National Park: In the Bolognola (Macerata) area, you can go on magnificent horseback excursions. The routes will lead you to the lovely Fiastra Lake, Mount Fiegni, and Fonte del Beato Ugolino.

• Ancona Province:
- Horseback riding at the Monte Conero Regional Natural Park is undoubtedly spectacular. The view from Monte Conero and its beaches is breath-taking at sunrise, sunset and even at night. We recommend taking walks on the Numana, Sirolo, and Mezzavalle beaches for sea lovers or inland at Camerano for a fantastic view from the top of the Conero.

• Province of Fermo:
- Horseback riding in Montelparo will allow you to go on expeditions in the gorgeous Aso Valley, often known as 'The Garden of the Marches' because of its endless woods, orchards, vineyards, and vegetable gardens. Long horseback rides along the edge of Lake San Ruffino are available in Fermo, providing a superb opportunity to immerse oneself in the glory of nature.

Cagli, Peglio, Urbania, Urbino city (Pesaro-Urbino), Fabriano, Jesi (Ancona), Potenza Picena, Civitanova Marche, Tolentino, Sarnano, Recanati (Macerata), Montelparo, and Offida (Ascoli Piceno) are some of the other spots in the Marche region where you can have amazing riding adventures .

Many of the centres affiliated with the FISE (Italian Federation of Equestrian Sports) in the Marche region will provide you with the opportunity to participate in all of these activities. If you have prior experience and are looking to obtain your riding license, some courses and schools will lead you to earn your riding licence.

If you reside in Marche or are visiting, an outdoor activity like horse riding in the centre of nature is recommended. What are you waiting for to make a reservation?
