The day opens with the soft clop of hooves and the wide, rolling shoulders of Tuscany stretching out under a clear light. You climb into the saddle near Montepulciano and the horses lead you along grassy ridgelines, through olive groves and across open fields where the wind seems to press you gently forward.
moderate.
2–2.5 hours.
Moderate fitness; able to sit a horse at a walk and trot for roughly an hour and handle uneven terrain
No advanced experience is required, but you should be comfortable at a walk and trot; guides will brief and match riders to horses.
The ride itself is about one hour within a 2–2.5 hour total booking that includes a picnic and orientation.
A typical picnic features regional products—cured meats, local cheeses, bread and often seasonal fruit—paired with water or juice; alcoholic drinks may not be included.
Logistics vary by operator; confirm pickup or meeting-point details at booking—many tours require you to arrive at the stable.
The Val d'Orcia landscape reflects millennia of agricultural shaping from Etruscan settlements through medieval farm consolidation, creating the curved fields and stone routes you ride today.
Riders are asked to stay on established paths to protect fragile soils and crop rotations; many local operators support low-impact picnicking and waste carry-out policies.
Valdichiana Living operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
