Adventure horse riding in some of Italys most spectacular landscapes. Weekend trips & all inclusive rides for intermediate and above riders. Amazing terrain, great wine and cuisine, local well trained guides, and top horses. Small personalized groups


The Tuscan hills where our adventure trekking stable is based, provide one of the most fascinating and uncontaminated landscapes in all of Italy. Bordering on the Mugello region a harsh, wild land, overlooked by the towering nearby Apennine mountains the vineyards slope gently down towards the lush Valdisieve valley eroded by the River Sieve. The stables are bordered by centuriesold chestnut and cypress woods and "historical" terraced olive groves,relics of an ancient form of agriculture, still so much alive in the air here..

We offer keen riders a mix of different adventure trail rides in Tuscany, whether you choose a week at our world reknown wine estate riding through 700 hectares of wild landscapes and vineyards, or a week long inn to inn adventure ride through Tuscany, you can be assured of great food, wine, history and culture mixed with fantastic horseriding in an enchanting setting.

We make it our pleasure to show you as the rider what we love so much about our region, knowing too well that nobody likes to ride with a solemn faced guide. We prefer the less mechanical approach, utlitizing our homegrown knowledge and expertise on the job at hand, to give you a holdiday experience you wont forget.

Safety is always an important factor on our rides, but so is the ability to laugh, joke and tell tales about the area.

We mix good old fashioned kiwi ingenuity and world famous Italian hospitality to create trails that we love to guide, and riders love to ride!!

The Colognole Chianti Rufina Trail
This trip is based for 7 nights at the 18th century wine estate of Colognole, drink fine wine, dine on Tuscan cuisine, and enjoy the countryside on horseback. The trip consists of three full day rides and two half day rides with a free day mid week to visit nearby Florence, or Arezzo.The riding on this trip is still extremely adventurous, with river crossings, rocky ridge trails, forest tracks through areas inhabitated by wolves and wild boars, and through some of Tuscanys most dramatic landscapes.
The luxury of this trip is the accommodation, and cuisine. There is no unpacking/repacking daily, and the horses are always within walking distance.The swimming pool, tennis court, wiFi internet and wine bar are also added advantages of the Colognole trail.

You will return and stay each night at the farmhouse. In the evening you can enjoy a fantastic 4course dinner with fine wines, foie gras, walnuts and cheeses.Day 8 Saturday End of the stay after breakfast, the last opportunity to taste our croissants and homemade jams.Or one week with a two day trek For several days you will be riding in the beautiful surroundings of the farm and exploring the Lot and the Dordogne. During the week there will be a two day trek. This trek will lead you to the medieval town Lavercantire with its breathtaking views. We reach a nice lake at Catus for our picnic. You can relax or take a swim. And then we carry on to our stay for the night at Crayssac, in a fabulous 17th century farmhouse with two beautiful towers. Here you can taste and experience real French life. The next day we will continue our trek and we will ride through a domain of trees which is called Le Frau, peaceful and unspoilt, with old oakes, chestnut trees, heathers and ferns. An ideal place to have a rest stop and a leisurely lunch before returning to our home. Or with a four day trek After an introductory ride through some of the lovely surrounding countryside and a check that you are suitably matched to your horse for the week, you will then set out on the four day trail ride. Discovering the Lot and passing on ancient Roman roads, mule paths and parts of the road to Santiago de Compostela. All tracks lead you to the once revered Christian site of Rocamadour, a place of pilgrimage, which has clung to the limestone cliffs of the Alzou Canyon for over nine hundred years.You will be covering approximately 25 to 30 kms per day at a variety of paces, enjoying delicious picnics at lunch time. Your first night stop is at Le Vigan in a converted watermill, where you might like to enjoy a soak in the outdoor pool after the days exertions. From there you head to Rocamadour arriving a La Gardelle in time to put your horse in its field and drive down to see Rocamadour in all its glory before supper. For the last night of the trail you make your way to Frayssinet for your stay in a converted convent. This beautiful oasis of calm is an ideal resting place and you will certainly be reluctant to leave after a famously long, relaxing delicious evening meal. However, leave you must, for your last two nights will be spent back at Dgagnac. The final days ride is a wind down ride, taking you in a completely different direction from where you have come, ensuring that in only a week you will have seen as much as possible of what Le Lot has to offer.
