Treat your children to a horse riding experience they will never forget

Children who learn about and care for horses grow into happier adults; adults that are considerate and respectful of the planet and its animals. It is for this reason, if for no other, that it is worth choosing a horse riding holiday for your kids here at the Riding Tuscany Ranch riding centre of Belmonte Vacanze Farm Holidays.
Ours is the only farm holiday agriturismo in Montaione that can also boast a horse riding centre for children: Benedetta, our talented and professional instructor organises horse-riding activities and fun for the little ones all year round. Pony-back riding, fun and birthday parties, as well as horse riding lessons.

First 'leg up'

The first “leg up”, which is the first time up in the saddle, is a magical moment for any rider. An experience your children will never forget. They can choose to experience their first leg up either on a horse or a pony. A qualified instructor helps them to gain confidence with the horse or pony followed by a ride, the total experience will last around 40 minutes.

This particular experience is reserved for children aged 3 or above. Of course if the little one is scared or uncomfortable, the ride will immediately be interrupted. We believe your children and our horses should feel relaxed and have fun to fully enjoy the experience.

The first leg up must be a great and memorable moment for everyone!

And after the ride enjoy our food specialities at our new panoramic restaurant!

Ponies don’t exist only in fairy tales … ours is the only farm for children in Tuscany in Montaione with a riding school that also welcomes ponies and docile horses for children of all ages, who will immediately make friends with Furia, Peppita and all of our large family of horses.

We will organize a special Pony Party for the children, a real birthday party in close contact with the horses, during which they can happily face the first time on horseback.

And there will be a delicious snack for everyone!
