Practical Information

Location

Ranch Il Dosso is located in Treviso Bresciano (BS), at high altitude, among forests and mountain panoramas.

Who it's for

Slow and private experiences for couples, small groups of friends, and families with teenagers who want to spend time in nature without the crowds.

Level and Safety

Experiences are designed for both beginners and experienced riders. I always accompany you, step by step. To ensure comfort and safety during the experience, appropriate clothing is required: long pants (mandatory), closed shoes (mandatory), preferably trekking or sports shoes. Depending on the season, it is also recommended to bring a light jacket, windbreaker, or layered clothing. Safety helmets are provided directly by the ranch. Every detail is designed to let you enjoy the experience in total peace of mind, immersed in nature.

What I ask before confirming

When you write to me, I will ask you about: your riding level, the approximate weight of participants, any specific fears or needs, and whether you prefer just a trail ride or also spending time at the ranch.

Period and Weather

Experiences are organized only during certain periods of the year and are subject to weather conditions: in case of bad weather, we will get in touch and find an alternative together.

Mandatory ENGEA Membership

To participate in horseback riding experiences, ENGEA membership is mandatory, as it includes insurance coverage and protection during activities. If you are not yet a member, I will guide you through the process at the time of your experience confirmation.
