On horseback, where land meets water

There are landscapes that can best be crossed in silence, at the pace of a horse. Between the Romea Beach and the hinterland, where the pine forest fades into the dunes and the dunes open onto the sandbanks, a horse ride becomes the most natural way to get in tune with the Delta. We proceed without haste, in small groups, following paths that run along the water and creep through the reeds, where cars do not reach and the noise of the world remains behind.

The horses, accustomed to these soft and changing terrains, know the rhythm of the place. From the top of the saddle, the gaze runs far away, over the tall grass and the bodies of water where the birds stop, while the light changes from hour to hour and draws new shades on the landscape. It is an experience that speaks to those who have been riding for years as well as to those who climb for the first time: the guides accompany every step, choose the routes based on the experience of the participants and tell about the nature that is crossed. From time to time we stop, in the saddle or on land, to observe a nest among the reeds or a reflection on the water, letting the landscape dictate the rhythm: it is a silent dialogue between the rider, the animal and the environment that welcomes them.

More than a sporting activity, it is an invitation to slow down. The contact with the animal, the cadenced gait, the open air and the salty scent restore a rare calm, made up of simple gestures and attention. You return with the feeling of having known the territory from the inside, from an ancient and bright perspective, and of having done so with respect, leaving intact what you have encountered.
