Riders on horseback along a beach On horseback

Guided horse rides in the Amiata countryside

Piancastagnaio

A working farm at the foot of Amiata with the stable in the middle of it. The rides go out through the woods and down to the river, and the horses cross the water without breaking stride.

How the day goes

  1. Meet at the farm, where the horses are part of the work and not a sideline.
  2. Up into the woods on the flank of Amiata, hooves quiet on the leaf litter.
  3. Down to the ford and through the water, then the long way back to the yard.
