One-hour riding lesson in the Appian Way Park

Rome

A riding lesson where the school happens to sit inside the Appian Way park: pines overhead, the city somewhere behind the trees, and an instructor watching your seat.

How the day goes

  1. Meet the school at the yard and get put on a horse chosen for your level.
  2. Work in the arena on position, hands, the walk and the trot, a bit at a time.
  3. Finish with the park still around you and the Appia left to walk.

This is a lesson, not an excursion: to cover ground, take the guided ride from the same stables.
