Riding what a passion!
Riding is one of the oldest activities that humans have engaged in. In Greek and Roman history, those who could ‘ride’ acquired a higher status in society. From then on, the title of knight became an expression of nobility, and in later centuries nobles were forced to learn the art of ‘riding’ in order to participate in political and military life. The small villages and enchanted woods provide itineraries in contact with nature, through a landscape to be discovered and loved on horseback.
