The first step from the stable puts you onto a soft trail that threads between low stone walls and olive groves, the city of Florence receding to a white ribbon on the horizon. Horses pick their way across rolling green hills; the wind carries thyme and distant farm smoke while the guide keeps the pace calm and steady, perfect for riders who’ve never mounted before.

The first step from the stable puts you onto a soft trail that threads between low stone walls and olive groves, the city of Florence receding to a white ribbon on the horizon. Horses pick their way across rolling green hills; the wind carries thyme and distant farm smoke while the guide keeps the pace calm and steady, perfect for riders who’ve never mounted before.
This ride runs through the hills around Pelago, an agrarian landscape shaped by centuries of small farms, medieval trackways and later Medici-era land management. The soils are clay and limestone; small ridgelines give open views to the Pratomagno and the Arno valley. Riding here connects to a long Tuscan tradition of working horses and country hospitality—ending the hour with a local aperitif is a modern echo of that culture.
Expect a one-hour, gently paced trail suitable for beginners and children aged 10+. Guides are experienced; horses are schooled for relaxed group rides. Terrain is mostly dirt tracks and short grassy stretches with occasional uneven sections—nothing technical, but solid footwear and long pants matter.
Practical side: arrive with sun protection and a light layer, leave valuables in Florence, and double-check weight/health restrictions when booking. The aperitif option is a simple, convivial finish—local wine and small bites—so factor a few extra minutes if you choose it. For a brief, scenic taste of Tuscany that’s accessible and restorative, this ride balances ease, landscape, and a touch of regional flavor.
