Holidays are made for doing things you have never tried before and for doing the things that you love but normally do not have the time or energy to pursue in your daily life. From surfing to hiking to wine-tasting, there are all sorts of pursuits that can be enjoyed at your leisure while on holidays, without worrying about having to get back to chores or work and without having to consider any potential costs incurred in the way that you might normally have to factor into your plans. For many, one great example of an activity that they may have long loved but never have quite enough time for or easy access to if they live in bigger towns and cities and an activity that others may be curious about but never actually got around to trying out is horseback riding! Particularly enjoyable if you are exploring new landscapes, horseback riding is especially wonderful for those who have found a vacation rental in Tuscany as the stunning, rolling hills and pastoral settings of the Tuscan countryside make for the perfect place to befriend a new equine pal and plod along together through the prettiest of surroundings.
If you are looking for horseback riding options in Tuscany, you will find lots of different farms, wineries with farms, stables, and other little local businesses that offer horseback riding excursions. However, some of these can be hard to locate and organise in advance of your trip or if you know little about the area in which you are going to be staying. However, if you are a planner and want to have an idea of, and choose between, your options in advance, then you should head to the tour and activity website Viator, where companies and local guides can list and offer their services. There are a wide range of options, with various add-ons and extras and different lengths of time for the tours and excursions, and different price-points to choose from, depending on what you are looking for.
For example, there are horseback riding excursions that are offered by Fattoria
Tègoni in Radicondoli in the province of Siena, which can last anywhere from one to four hours (depending on your preferences) and can cater for both beginners and more experienced riders. Starting at around €34.60 and taking riders along the most beautiful paths through the landscape that is all around the farm, this option is perfect for those who have found a vacation rental in Siena and who are looking for a simple and cost-effective option.
Those looking for something a little more romantic, might be interested in this package and excursion that lasts around two hours and takes riders on a guided trek through the centuries-old Tombolo pinewood, along the Canale San Leopoldo, and to the back-dune area, dunes and beach in Marina di Grosseto. This tour is accompanied by an instructor and guide who will give, “technical notions of riding, description and explanations on the flora, fauna and history of the place, and will take photos and videos.” Costing from €108.55, this is the picture-perfect version of horseback riding for those who have found a vacation rental on the Tuscan Coast.
There are also plenty of options to combine visits to vineyards with horseback rides, which can be found at various price points on Viator. Be sure to browse the options carefully and find the right one for you as the additional services and prices vary dramatically and you will want to make sure you're getting exactly what you want, especially for the more expensive options! However, no matter what you're looking for, you'll likely find it as there is quite a range of choices. If you're looking to make your vacation in Tuscany even more magical, consider planning a horseback riding trip during your stay!
