To
arrive at the undiscovered places of Tuscany, far from the hoards
of tourists, to discover the truly unspoiled and original, the best
mode of transport is undoubtedly on horseback.
The "Scuderia le Vigne" is located in
the small medieval village of Castelmuzio between the Val d'Orcia
and the Crete Senesi.
At Scuderia le vigne we organize various excursions
on horse back or, for those who don't ride, with horse and carriage,
learning programs of basic riding and jumping for adults and children
and horse riding vacation weeks and week ends. Le
Vigne is surrounded by a natural reserve, where riders can see deer,
roe deer, pheasants and other fauna. Up and down to the hills you
will discover an unspoiled natural wonderland full of fascinating
and different sights depending on the route you will choose.
Crossing
the reserve shaded by ancient oak trees, one arrives in a panoramic
position where the entire valley can be admired, overlooking the
ancient city of Pienza and the fortress of Montalcino, continuing
down to Sant'Anna in Camprena the famous monastery of the "English
Patient", to join up with the characteristic Crete Senesi; this
is just one of the numerous and fantastic excursions we can offer
you.
Sisca, Trobao, Samourai, Fiamma and
Stella, our horses are very good and reliable, perfectly adapted
even for beginners and children. Small children could also have the
opportunity of a riding introduction with our small shetland poney
called Pilù. All are very friendly and together with us will
share with you some unforgettable hours, in direct contact with nature.
In
addition to organizing tours, we also offer riding lessons for those
who would like to learn or to improve their skills before living
for adventure.
Michael and Gaelle the owners and your guides have lived in Tuscany

events.
