Question

I'm going in october and am looking for a horse tour of Tuscany but cant find anything that is a day ride or shorter? Any one know where i can look?

Answer 1

Most of the horseback tours seem to be longer term propositions. Podere le Pialle near Firenze offers horseback riding at 35 euro per hour. phone [phone].

Vallebona is one of the places more oriented toward riding holidays, but they seem to have hourly rates too. They're east of Firenze: via di Grignano, 32 Pontassieve 50065 Italia - tel +39.055.839 72 46

Other possibilities:

Badia Montescalri Via Montescalari, 129 La Panca (Figline V.no) Tel. [phone]

Montefreddi SS. della Futa Via Montefreddi, 167 (Firenze) Tel. [phone] Fax [phone]

Centro ippico Ugolino in Impruneta
