Sunlight sifts through oak and chestnut as you mount at the small riding stable on the edge of the Furlo Nature Reserve. The guide checks tack, the horses shift, and the trail follows the Metauro valley toward a shallow crossing where water parts under the hooves—an immediate, tactile connection with the landscape.

Sunlight sifts through oak and chestnut as you mount at the small riding stable on the edge of the Furlo Nature Reserve. The guide checks tack, the horses shift, and the trail follows the Metauro valley toward a shallow crossing where water parts under the hooves—an immediate, tactile connection with the landscape.
Centuries of water have shaped this place: the Candigliano carved the narrow Furlo Gorge through limestone, producing sheer walls and tight bends that reward riders with sudden, expansive views. You pass the medieval tower of Brombolona, a watching point over the valley, and on clear days the rounded green shoulders of Renaissance Urbino appear on the skyline. The area carries Roman engineering traces nearby and a rural culture rooted in small farms, truffle markets, and stone villages.
Practically, this is a dynamic two‑hour route aimed at riders with some experience. FITETREC‑ANTE–certified guides lead small groups, assist with mounting, and manage river crossing logistics. Terrain is mixed: compact dirt tracks, short rocky sections and a sandy riverbed at the crossing; elevation change is modest but footing is uneven in places. Helmets and basic equipment are provided; standard weight limit is 80 kg unless arranged in advance.
Plan to wear closed‑toe boots, layered clothing, and a waterproof for spring or sudden showers. There are no on‑site toilets; combine the ride with a stop at a nearby farmhouse for regional cuisine. Move deliberately, listen to your guide, and let the river set the cadence of the ride.
