Riding a high quality horse is close to being a guarantee for fun and satisfaction during your horse trekking through Tuscany. We don't share the view of those who think a mediocre horse is good enough for being a trekking horse. On the contrary, especially during cross country riding a horse expresses his full potential. The movements should be elegant, balanced, rhythmic and comfortable. The walk must be forceful, steady and safe, the trot abundant and elastic, the gallop driven from the rear, vigorous but controlled. Horse riding is fun only on the back of a horse with an appearing personality that does not limit itself to stoically following the previous rider; a horse that is unafraid and willing to communicate.

The Hanoverian horses at the stud Podere Palazzone are exactly like this, due to their pedigree, due to the relationship we cultivate with them and due to the education we have given them. They offer you comfort and pleasure at walk or at gallop, in waters or in forests, wherever you guide them.

This horse is truly different from all others: She is trained in English and Western riding and is particularly easy handling. She walks up the steepest hills and crosses the deepest forests. Given her friendly character we use her also for walking at the lounge with the youngest cow-boys.
