ON THE TROT

Canter through the splendid Sicilian landscape on an unforgettable horse riding experience. Depending on the exact location of your accommodation and the sites you wish to explore, we will arrange the perfect outing for you.

The island offers a wide range of unique and stunningly beautiful environments making it an ideal destination for nature lovers all year round. Long stretches of coast trimmed by the limpid waters of the Ionian Sea, country paths winding their way through vineyards and olive trees, lush green mountains affording amazing views of the surrounding valleys, oak and chestnut forests spread across the slopes of a volcano, ancient Greek ruins lying amidst almond groves… the itineraries and sceneries to choose from are many and diverse.

Guests staying in eastern Sicily can book relaxing sunset excursions along the wonderful beaches of Giardini Naxos or venture up the trails of Mount Etna. In northern Sicily visitors might want to cool off on mountain escapes to the Nebrodi nature park and the Madonie mountain range, also known as the “Dolomites of Sicily”. Culture vultures keen on seeing the sights can enjoy horse riding in the UNESCO-listed Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, while learning about Sicily’s glorious 2,500-year-old history.

Appropriate for participants with experience at any level, from beginners to seasoned cowboys, these rides are led by professional instructors who can customise treks to suit different ages, needs and skills. Horses are well trained and will be selected according to each rider’s abilities. Most tracks are not accessible with traditional means of transport ensuring guests an off-the-beaten-path experience which is also sustainable, responsible and eco-friendly.

Enjoy the unparalleled views Sicily has to offer from the saddle as you trot along your chosen route through unspoilt nature.
