Beautiful experience - We really enjoyed this experience because it was great to interact with the horses from the preparation of the meal to the saddle before the long walk. Very good instructors, prepared and careful to always give the best advice. Top!!

Great even for beginners!! - Experience very pleasant for horse-loving travelers, a walk in a corner of nature full of historical secrets that the guide will be happy to explain with passion. I recommend even for beginners riding, the frame is great even for those who set foot to the caliper for the first time!

A nice walk to complete the discovery of Ostia antica - We wanted to experience Ostia Antica in a unique way as our stay in Rome drew to a close. The Knights of Gaia were able to offer us everything we needed for our little beginner family. After a free breakfast, we got to know the horses, all from previous experiences (racing, dressage, etc.), and learn how to approach them, take care of them and feed them to build a relationship of trust. My whole family was excited about this preparatory phase, before a beautiful ride in the countryside to discover nature and Roman ruins. Alessia is very professional and her rates are very reasonable. If you plan ahead, you can then eat in the city and continue to the archaeological park. It's a wonderful day in Ostia, off the beaten track. For the more experienced, Alessia offers more technical routes and provides photographic support.

A great idea for a family walk before discovering Ostia antica park - We wanted to approach Ostia Antica in an original way as our stay in Rome ended. Gaia riders have been able to propose what was needed for our little beginner family. After a welcome free breakfast we were able to discover the horses, all from a previous life (racing, dressage etc) and learn to approach, care for and feed them to build a relationship of trust. My whole family was delighted with this preparatory phase before a beautiful walk in the countryside to discover nature and Roman ruins. Alessia is very professional and her rates are really reasonable. If you organize yourself well, you can then eat in town and follow up with the archaeological park. It is a beautiful day in Ostia away from the beaten track. For the most professional , Alessia offers more technical courses and she ensures the Photo follow-up. Another great discovery.

Amazing experience! - My husband and I had an amazing day. I’m an experienced rider (have my own horse) and my husband is a complete novice. We did the beginners trail ride for his benefit, which was stunning. The horses were very well behaved (didn’t put a hoof wrong). My husband’s horse took very good care of him. The instructors are very nice, friendly, knowledgeable people who speak really good English. You can also choose between an English or Western saddle for the beginners ride. We started the day by taking the metro to the meeting point, which is a lovely cafe just 5min walk from the metro mare. We had a bite to eat before being collected and taken to the ranch. When we arrived I was able to go and collect my allocated horse to groom and tack up before our ride out. My husband’s horse was tacked up for him with being a beginner and all. He was then give some instructions, some do’s and don’ts during for our ride before we set off. Glad it was the instructors and not me as I don’t think he’d have listened to me 🤭 The trek was brilliant. The views are stunning and it was a really nice break away from the hustle n bustle of the city. I would highly recommend this experience. Beautiful horses, beautiful surroundings with excellent cavalry. I intend to go back with my friends (my fellow equestrians) and book the beach ride experience
