If horse riding is already a magnificent experience, saddling up in Oasi
Zegna is an excellent opportunity to turn a normal day into something
unforgettable. The Centro Equestre, with various breeds of horses, is on
the Panoramica Zegna road, at piazzale 2, Bielmonte, at 1,500 meters above sea
level and with a splendid panorama.
“We’re in a wonderful place,” explains riding school manager Renato, “with
some spectacular panoramas. When you’re on horseback here and look down from Oasi
Zegna, it’s like looking at a nativity scene. This completely changes your
riding experience”.
The Centro Equestre enables guests to practice horse riding for an hour, a
weekend, for any period of time, depending on their needs and age. The stables
house 26 horses of various breeds, sizes, characters and types of coat,
from those more suitable for kids to the more robust breeds. Lessons are
open to everyone. “That horse riding is a hobby for the rich is a myth we have
to dismantle,” says the manager. “A lesson costs less than an hour of tennis,
and involves the horse and an instructor, as well as stables.”
The Centro Equestre in Oasi Zegna also plays an important role in rehabilitating
horses who’ve suffered serious traumatic disorders due to over-stressful
sport, excessively demanding owners or any other causes. “The more intelligent
animals, like horses, react to stress by withdrawing and defending themselves,
by kicking and biting. It’s often easier to work with animals that have never
had any contact with humans.”
From ponies to Shetlands, pentros and appaloosas,
and even donkeys for pet therapy: in Oasi Zegna you can practice
various styles of horse riding, depending on your needs. Smaller animals are
usually employed to introduce kids to riding, above all because of their lower
visual impact. But we’re talking about docile and friendly animals anyway,
irrespective of their size.
So just jump in the saddle and combine the relaxation of a walk in Oasi
Zegna with the thrilling experience of horse riding.
