Horse Riding in Sardinia: the 7 best tours

Horseback riding tours are also suitable for beginners. For people who have never ridden a horse before, short tours are recommended.

Horseback riding includes stretches in the middle of the woods and in the countryside. For this reason, the required clothing for horseback riding includes:
- comfortable shoes
- long pants
- possibly a long-sleeved shirt/shirt.

Short pants/skirts and flip-flops/sandals are strongly discouraged.

The minimum age required by law to ride a horse is 14 years old. So, children under 14 years of age cannot ride, even with prior experience.

Some stables have ponies available, which can also be ridden by children under 14.

Horseback riding in Sardinia costs an average of €35 to €65 per hour. The price depends on the riding stables, the location and the type of ride: the horse requires uncommon care compared to other animals, so a large part of the price paid is equivalent to the preparation, feeding and care of the animal.

The best areas in Sardinia for horseback riding are Gallura and Maddalena in the north, or in the south the Villasimius area in the east, and the area around Sant'Antioco in the west. The beaches of Budoni are very attractive for horseback riding excursions by the sea.
