Beginner horseback rides
You will not set out on a horseback riding trip in the Langhe in no time, but there will be a minimum of theoretical preparation before departure. Along with this preparation, you will be given equipment to wear for safety. Riding stables in Piedmont are equipped for this type of preparation, and thanks to a brief introductory training, they will guide you to ride the road safely in the saddle; there are some simple tricks to learn to enjoy the experience without fear.
Usually, you ride in single file, one behind the other, thanks to the adequate spacing between horses at a walk or trot. Have you heard of this before? These are gaits: the stride, the trot, and the gallop. The stride is a slower and more stable gait, and the trot and gallop are faster gaits. Usually, during the first outing on horseback, galloping is not recommended, especially if you are a beginner or a child.
Although you may be a little fearful of an animal of this size, try to remain relaxed and make an emotional connection with the animal, and you will see that you will enjoy it.
Families and children and horses
First horseback ride with children? There is always a first time!
Even if you have never ridden a horse, you can enjoy the ride in peace and relaxation. The riding stables in Piedmont will give you the proper guidance for your first riding experience. You are sure to find horses used to being ridden by beginners or children.
Rightly, the activities your child will be able to do on horseback will differ according to age. Children up to 8 years old will only be able to ride ponies inside the stables, while children 14 years old and up can safely do their horseback riding.
