Horse
Riding
Le
Marches offer a wide variety of proposals to those wishing to discover the
magic of riding a horse, ranging from the small manèges available to
occasional visitors looking for adventure, to riding schools.
These are authorized to issue permits to horse riders, proving their
experience and required to take part in horse competitions.
In
small villages as well as in main towns, along the coast as well as on the
hills it is possible to engage in horse riding in all its various forms,
from the elegant British riding to the American, from competitive routes
with hurdles to the charming excursions of horse tourism.
The
names of the many horse centres scattered throughout the regional
territory evoke the profound link with the precious environment they
protect and promote:
Il
Faggio of Fabriano
La Badia of Cantiano
La Vecchia Quercia of Pergola
Gli Ulivi of Civitanova Marche

full of history through the beautiful pathways of the National Park of the
