Meet rescued horses, learn to care for them, and ride scenic pinewood trails past Roman ruins on a relaxed guided outing from Rome.

About this tour

Meet rescued horses and discover a quieter side of Rome on a guided trail ride through pinewood and open landscapes. You’ll learn how to feed and groom the herd, then get a short riding lesson before setting off. Beginners and experienced riders are welcome, and the trained horses make for a relaxed outing.

Follow scenic trails in a natural reserve and pass Roman ruins on horseback, with time to enjoy the views and get to know the animals along the way. A professional guide leads the experience, and helmet use and a food tasting are included. This Rome horse sanctuary and trail ride offers a memorable way to connect with rescued horses while exploring the countryside.

From June to October, the herd moves to Tagliacozzo in Abruzzo to escape the summer heat. The mountain setting brings cooler air and panoramic scenery, and the location is about an hour from Rome by car or train. Wear long trousers and suitable footwear, bring water and sunscreen, and book your Rome horse sanctuary and trail ride for a refreshing day outdoors.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.60 from 288 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.6.
