We still have a few saddles left for our July 4-11 Castle Estate Ride in Italy 🇮🇹🏰🐎

It is a beautiful time for a getaway on the border of Tuscany and Lazio, just about two hours north of Rome. I visited with my family last summer and had such a wonderful time. The castle estate is stunning, the food is incredible, and the horses are fantastic trail partners. The rides are dynamic and forward going, a perfect way to discover the Tuscan countryside.

This programme is available as a 4 or 7 day stay, and is reserved for experienced riders*. There is also a beginner option including lessons and, depending on comfort level, some short hacks.

It is a wonderful place to combine nature, relaxation and great riding in one of Italy’s most stunning regions.

Pricing:
•4 day programme from €1,060 per person, shared room, half board
•7 day programme from €1,750 per person, shared room, half board

On site you will also find a swimming pool, tennis court, nearby lake, and beautiful cycling routes (bike rental and guided rides available).

Other dates are also available! Please enquire- or comment “castle” below for more information 🙂

Margaritas, sunshine & criollos 🌞🍹🐎
I’ve loved spending parts of the summer in the Mexican highlands for the past couple of years, and I cannot recommend this guest ranch enough! The hospitality, the ease, the delicious food and 3 course meals, the incredible historical sites to discover in the area and that feeling of uncovering a part of Mexico you don’t usually think of (no, it’s not your typical all inclusive Cancun beachfront resort 😁)

The riding, landscapes, and opportunities to let go, challenge yourself, or simply relax are amazing. Many guests try their first canters here, others return after a long break in riding. It’s family friendly too! 🥰

Comment “Mexico” for more info!
