Program
Who is The Beginner? He is a person who has never ridden or has only done so a few times and does not have enough experience to be able to go out into the countryside.
This proposal is for this type of rider who wants to get closer and delve deeper into the world of these splendid animals and then tackle the countryside routes.
In our center we have a natural path that reproduces some of the situations we can find along the treks, and we use it to teach untrained riders how to safely tackle these situations, with respect and trust between horse and rider.
The program includes three hours of theoretical and practical lessons in the arena and then continue with a taste of trekking of about an hour along our natural path.
Instructors
Sergio Aldieri
When I saw a horse for the first time, I was five years old, and I was amazed. I started a journey made up of sacrifices, lessons, competitions to achieve ever higher sporting results. Then I met great horsemen, famous and not, I understood that technique and training are important but it is essential to observe,wait,listen.I stopped doing "with"starting to do "for" the horse. Sacrifices increased, to then achieve "doing together". This is my lifestyle, my work,my passion and if the results are slow in coming,I remember the words of Ray Hunt: "believe in your horse and he will believe in you".
