Hi, I'm planning to go to Italy next summer and I heard you can go riding in tuscany. Has anyone tried this or at least knows a good place to do it?
While staying near of Siena this summer, we were directed to Fattoria Pieve a Salti, which allows for hourly/half day/or day rides. It is located near Buonconvento, about 25km south of Siena. We found it to be a good experience, well kept horses, and a pretty area to ride. You do not have to be a guest there to ride. It is English saddles. They also allowed our 8 year old son to ride, as well(Marco ponied his horse). Here is the website http://www.pieveasalti.it/english/horse_riding_siena.htm
Feel free to email me if you have any add'l questions.
