Great Experience ! - My friends and I had such a great time at this place. This was not your typical horseback riding experience. We really got a chance to connect with the horses by feeding them, cleaning them and bonding with them to really appreciate the horses. The horseback riding itself was very enjoyable with the guide giving a history lesson along the way and showing us the beautiful scenery of the ranch. We highly reccomend going here to experience a great time!

Beautiful horses, exceptional food, and some of the friendliest people you could ever meet. - These people are truly some of the warmest and most welcoming group of people I have ever met. I arrived around 3:00 PM, and we rode around Ostia Antica for about 3.5 hours and headed back to the ranch once it started to rain. My horse was Khaier. He was a half italian, half arabic horse with a gorgeous black coat. He had a youthful spirit to him, and I could feel how agile the horse was. There was one or two ocassions that me and Khaier trotted for a few seconds to catch up to the leading horse and I appreciated how receptive Khaier was to my commands. The views to see in Ostia Antica are breathtaking. Along the trail I saw the various gorgeous landscapes, a Thermae, and the walls from the Port of Ostia which I thought was too cool. I had dinner with the hosts afterward and it was easily one of the best meals/dinner experiences of my life. I am working on my italian, but there was a good amount of people at dinner who were fluent, or knew a good bit of English so it was no issue conversing with them. I had a fantastic experience all together, and I highly reccomend them!

Unique experience, fantastic staff - We met the Knights of Gaia through the Smartbox was a beautiful day , fantastic and nice staff. They made us initially get acquainted with the horse by giving it water with bran. They taught us a lot of things. Then we went for a beautiful walk in the woods and pine forest and even there they were very nice in explaining how to manage the horse and understand how to tune in and how to pay respect to it was a unique experience. We will definitely be back. And I recommend it because it is a really nice experience.

Amazing memory - The instructor is super sweet and very knowledgeable about the ancient history of Rome and English riding. Two out of the three of us knew how to ride previously and the instructor took the time to teach the third who did not have much riding experience. All in all this Horse Riding tour that we booked was an amazing memory on our first trip to Italy. I would recommend!

Ride through an enchanted forest - I recently had a wonderful horseback riding experience in Ostia, Italy, and I can't recommend it enough! The ride took us through the stunning landscapes of Ancient Rome, and our hosts, Alessia and Pietro, were absolutely amazing. They were incredibly patient with my daughters, who were initially a bit scared of the horses. Thanks to Alessia and Pietro's calm demeanor and encouragement, my girls quickly warmed up to the horses and ended up having a fantastic time. The ride itself was peaceful and scenic, with parts that truly felt like we were traveling through an enchanted forest. The beauty of the surroundings combined with the gentle rhythm of the horses made for a magical experience. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure while in Italy, I highly recommend this horseback riding tour! Thank you, Alessia and Pietro, for making our day so special!

Did not get to actually... - Did not get to actually get to ride as it rained that day. Only downfall was we paid a lot for a ride there and then they discussed it wouldn’t be a great experience from the mud 10 mins after our meeting time so they thought we should reschedule. We attempted to reschedule however events conflicted. They were great at communicating and trying to help us.
