The Experience

The stable houses horses that need care. We focus on horse training, riding lessons, and equestrian shows, as well as falconry and fire juggling. A gym/training room is also available. We are in the countryside, so having a means of transportation or organizing with public transport is necessary to get around. Equestrian Center located between Cesena and Cesenatico, in the heart of Romagna, just a 10-minute drive from the sea and close to Rimini.

The experience was lovely. I learned a lot about horses and Italian culture from the locals. Sylvia is a great host who really cares about you and shares her friends and interests. Meeting her falcon was very exciting. If you want a place that feels like home and you want to learn about horses and country life in Italy, this is the spot. I'm leaving with many new friends. Thank you, Sylvia and your friends, as well as Alex and Laura, for this experience.

La experiencia fue fenomenal, Silvia es uba mujer fuerte y tiene un lugar asombroso, el trabajo con los caballos es duro pero bo complicado, el rancho es pequeño pero es suficiente para sentirse inmerso en la vida de campo cerca hay varias ciudades con buena comida, aunque no te dediques a la vida con caballos es una buena experiencia para conectar con estos magníficas criaturas, especialmente los caballos de silvia son importantes

¡Gracias, Ángel! Su ayuda ha sido realmente valiosa. No solo en la parte práctica, sino que también saben acercarse a las personas llevando alegría al alma. Han sido un hermoso regalo, gracias. Creo que su manera de viajar y de hacer voluntariado es especial y representa el verdadero espíritu con el que debería hacerse.
