Description
Enjoy an unforgettable horseback riding experience in Colico, at the northern tip of Lake Como, ideal even for beginners thanks to the comfortable Western saddle and a short practice session before the ride. Choose between a 1-hour or 2-hour tour, both featuring a scenic ride to the lake with a stop at the beach (when accessible) and peaceful trails through the surrounding fields. The 2-hour tour offers something extra: a beautiful trail through the woods, reaching the first paths of the Valtellina region. In summer, you can even ride your horse into the river or lake, creating a truly unique memory. In winter, snow rides are a magical way to explore the snowy landscape. Throughout the ride, an experienced guide will lead you along breathtaking routes with views of unspoiled nature, rivers, mountains, and the eastern shores of Lake Como. In case of disability, the provider will assess on site if participation is safe; otherwise, the experience will not take place.

The Comer lac was pretty....
The Comer lac was pretty. The horses are lovely. We have an one hour hack. They make a picture on the horses from us.

On horseback toward happiness: a magical experience (and screen-free!) at Nuova Quercia
A rare gem! An unforgettable experience at Nuova Quercia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We went on a one-hour horseback ride at the La Nuova Quercia Equestrian Center and it was an experience that was nothing short of extraordinary! 100% attention and safety: I started out with a lot of fear, but the staff was incredible in their welcome. They have a rare ability to put you at ease and explain everything with patience and professionalism. A huge round of applause for the horse-rider pairing: I was entrusted with Gina, a horse of infinite sweetness who made every fear I had vanish in a second! Visible animal welfare: You can immediately notice the love and deep respect with which all the horses are treated. They are serene, well-cared-for, and very sweet. \"Digital Detox\" miracle: The kids, usually inseparable from smartphones and screens, completely forgot about their devices for the entire duration of the experience. They returned home tired, but very happy, relaxed, and enthusiastic. An experience that you absolutely must have in your life. The only real flaw? It's addictive: once you've tried it, you just want to keep doing it forever! We will definitely be back. Highly recommended! Elena Luciano Federico Gabriele

Amazing experience 😍
I had the most amazing time at Ranch la Quencia. 😍It was my very first time riding a horse, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.🤩❤️😊 The ride itself was absolutely stunning — we went through open fields and peaceful forests, with beautiful mountains and a lake in the background. The scenery felt almost unreal and made the whole experience even more magical. I still catch myself thinking about that day because it made me so happy and relaxed.🥰 The horses are special and incredibly beautiful❤️, and you can tell they’re well cared for. The staff was also very friendly, patient, and welcoming, which made me feel comfortable and safe as a beginner.😊 This experience was truly worth it, and I would recommend it to everyone — whether it’s your first time riding or not, it’s something you’ll definitely remember for a long time! 🥰😊
