Horse Riding in Umbria

Besides being arguably the oldest form of locomotion known to mankind, riding is among the most complete all-round sports in terms of keeping the body fit and healthy. Beginners should bear in mind that you are not sitting on top of a machine and that a certain degree of confidentiality and sensitivity are needed when dealing with horses or ponies, however. In order to learn all the tricks for a smooth relationship with your ‘steed’, as well as to grasp the necessary technique for a healthy and pleasurable ride, it is important that you approach riding with the help of an instructor and come armed with a good deal of patience and humility.

Umbria is by no means lacking in qualified riding schools, not to mention the magnificent countryside and woods that offer virtually endless possibilities for varied and exciting outings. Alongside the region’s riding schools, many farmhouse residences also have their own stables and run riding lessons, so wherever you are in Umbria you can rest assured that you are no further than a fifteen minute car drive to a facility where you can ride from.

Prior booking is always a good idea, particularly if it is the first time you are using a particular school since you will not be allowed to take horses out on your own until the instructors have an idea of your level of riding experience.
