Any recommendations concerning horseback riding tours in Sicily?

I usually tell people to look at Equitours if they are looking for a point-to-point or based ride. I rode one of their tours in Ireland years ago. Their website doesn’t show any Sicily rides.
Have you searched through Google? There used to be as UK company doing rides in Europe but I don’t remember their name.
Have a great ride!

Thanks! Pippa’s Paddock looks good—a pony clubber from the UK has to be a good find! My husband & I will be on the 11 day tour beginning in Palermo in late April & early May. We’ll get in a day prior to the start which gives us until 3:00 pm, but I’m not sure that there’ll time to make it to Pippa’s Paddock & back to Palermo by the start time. We did a really nice, leisurely ride on the Appian Way in Rome last spring. It was one of our trip highlights & helped me as I always miss riding & taking care of my sweet mares.

So glad to hear the Appian Way ride is good. It’s on my itinerary for September through Riding Ancient Rome.
I rode in Hyde Park in 2022.
My arthritic joints are making riding difficult, but even riding at a walk is better than not riding or being around horses.

I agree entirely!! I’ve got arthritis, too, & have had a joint replacement in both hips. I’m riding joyfully again! We rode at Antica Torre - Riding Ancient Rome. It’s also a riding school. I loved watching some young girls take a group lesson. (All had good riding positions, too!). We rode a couple of bomb proof, twenty something, former jumpers. It was awesome, as was the lunch! Hope you enjoy it, as much as we did! I ‘d love to be able to ride in Hyde Park, as you did!!! What a treat that must have been!
