Horseback riding in Langa!
Experience the UNESCO landscapes of the Langhe on a horse saddle
A passion that many people in Langa grow and pass down from generation to generation, in addition to the one for good food and wine, is horseback riding.
Probably it’s because of the nature of the surroundings that reigns supreme and asks to be explored even on the saddle of a horse, galloping among the rows of vineyards. Or maybe it’s for the memory of these animals who, for centuries, were inseparable companions of the farmers of the Langa in their daily work, the facts remains that you will see many stables around.
The vineyards and the ‘causagne’, or the narrow passages between one row and another, are ideal paths for a ride surrounded by nature. The background then, made of soft hills, medieval castles, old farmhouses, small villages, pristine woods and geometric vineyards, takes your breath away from those who are not used to so much nature, sometimes wild, sometimes patiently worked by man.
“Breathe, regenerate and discover surprising views of this beautiful land with the horse. Learn about a fascinating world, in perfect balance between man and the environment.”
- In spring, to enjoy the awakening of nature;
- In autumn, to take advantage of the show offered by the vineyards when they paint the hills with the warmer colors and to taste the aphrodisiac truffle;
- In every season, to taste its great wines and the typical Langhe cuisine where the truffle is the absolute protagonist.
Horse riding is one of the most requested activities in the world of non-competitive horse riding. Within everyone’s reach and always with the necessary safety parameters, it offers the opportunity to enjoy nature exclusively and in the company of a noble friend like the horse.
Choose the horse ride that best suits your needs. Many people approach horseback riding not knowing the world of country riding and it is therefore important to understand what the right choice can be in relation to their needs and expectations.
Some people are frightened by the size of a horse, by its power and its vitality, but one soon realizes that it is a docile and delicate animal with which it is possible to “dialogue” and establish a pleasant relationship.
For beginners, it is therefore recommended to choose a short-term horse ride, which provide an introduction to the approach to the horse with gentle and suitable horses for those who are not experts.
This is an experience to be lived at least once in a lifetime. Being immersed in nature is already in itself a beautiful sensation for the spectacle that it offers us continuously; but experiencing these sensations on a horse is something wonderful. You can create a natural symbiosis with the horse, you can get to breathe with his own breath and look with his own gaze. By riding a horse, the stress of everyday life is quickly forgotten and space is left for relationship, beauty, peace and all that nature can transmit.
