Lessons in the arena – Classical / English Riding

Lessons of varying difficulty levels, taking place in the 1800 m² sand arena of Diacceroni Riding School (night lighting available)

The arena lessons take place in small, homogeneous groups of up to 3 people, starting from the age of 6. They occur in our 1800 m² sand arena, equipped with night lighting to allow riding even at sunset on cool summer evenings.

Depending on the declared level of experience at the time of booking, you will be assigned a horse with suitable training. The lesson lasts a total of 1 hour, including the ground preparation phase of the horse, dressing, and subsequent handling after the lesson.

The first part of the lesson includes gymnastic exercises and warm-ups to get acquainted with the horse and find balance in the saddle. Then, the instructor will personalize the activity based on your level of experience.

This experience is subject to favorable weather conditions and the condition of the field.

The class was detailed but doable and we had quite a bit of freedom to make different types of pasta based on what Ilenia showed us. The meal at the end of the course was fantastic and the property was beautiful. It was difficult to find the property, but once we were there it was a great experience that I would book again.

We hope to see you again soon! 🤗 Geeske B.Geeske B. ★★★★★ Wij waren met mijn schoonfamilie in de herfstvakantie een weekje in Toscane en daarbij mocht een pastaworkshop zeker niet ontbreken. Het was even zoeken om deze te vinden, maar we werden erg blij van de overzichtelijke site en het uitgebreide aanbod. Dus boekte we de pasta making workshop voor 10 personen incl. 2 kids van 9 en 11. Het was voor ons wel 1,5 uur rijden, maar het was een prachtige rit er naartoe. Daar aangekomen werden we vriendelijk ontvangen en overgedragen aan Ilenia die ons een duidelijke en uitgebreide uitleg gaf. Ze hielp iedereen waar nodig met veel geduld en beantwoorden al onze vragen. We moesten zelf het deeg maken en het daarna met de hand uitrollen totdat het doorschijnend was. Tussendoor werden we nog verwend met een verrukkelijke huisgemaakte Procecco. Vervolgens maakte we eerst een met ricotta gevulde ravioli, die later werd klaargemaakte in een heerlijke boter en salie saus. Daarna maakte we tagliatelle die een overheerlijke bolognesesaus kreeg en de restjes werden voorzien voor een lekkere tomatensaus. Die we daar in het restaurant lekker mochten oppeuzelen onder het genot van een heerlijk glaasje wijn.Het was echt een fantastische ervaring waar we met heel veel plezier op terugkijken en die onze reis extra speciaal heeft gemaakt. Bedankt hiervoor!Groetjes Familie Beekmans.Response from the ownerWe're thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time! There's nothing we love more than seeing our guests happy. We hope to see you again soon for another unforgettable adventure. Warm wishes from the Diacceroni team 🤗 Tina J.Tina J. ★★★★★ All the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful.
