Agriturismo BORGOIANO IN TOSCANA - Montaione  Loc. Iano - Firenze - Florence

Horseback Riding
Margherita and Vincenzo, and their horses are waiting for you at the Centro Equitazione Il Fregione, where you will find a friendly and warm atmosphere.

Vincenzo (an E.N.G.E.A. Instructor and Superior Equestrian Guide) will lead you through breathtaking itineraries so that you may become acquainted with the famous Land of the Etruscans, following routes that are accessible to both expert riders and simple amateurs. Indeed, their horses were all born on their stock farm and personally trained by Messrs. Alfano, so they are very reliable, but also give great satisfaction to skilled horse-riders. Margherita will take care of the young (E.N.G.E.A. Environmental Equestrian Guide and Recreational Horseback Riding Operator for the Disabled). With her experience, she adopts a fun, new approach to teaching riding, putting the child in contact with his horse/friend.
