The
departing day we will leave our manège at around 8:30am. If you need to get to
Ca' Maddalena the day before the departure we will make a small room/shelter available
for you, where you can sleep in your own sleeping bag (this first night is included
in the final price). For longer trekkings (from 3 days) we also offer a welcome
dinner at our restaurant.
To
take part to the trekking, we suggest you should prepare a backpack equipped
with what ever you need every night after each stop. The most important things
to bring with you are: a sleeping bag, sets of clothes, towels, a beauty
case (remember that sometimes our bathroom will be in the
open air, we'll try any way to alternate between nights in tent and nights in
shelter). Our truck will carry your backpack during the day and our staff will give
it back to you at the end of each stop. With regard to the few things that you
need to bring with you during the day, you'll find two saddlebags in your saddle.
We mostly
use western saddles because we find them more comfortable, a very important character
is it considering that we'll ride for an average of 6/7 hours per day.
For
the trekking to be confirmed, we require a minimum of four participants. At the
booking act we require a deposit of one-fifth of the total amount. In the event
of the journey being cancelled because of extremely bad weather conditions (we don't
mean just a bit of rain, for which you have to be prepared!!), the deposit will
be returned. If you decide to end the trekking before its scheduled end, you'll
have to pay half of the total amount for the remaining days.
You
can only get to our Agriturismo by car, but if you don't have this possibility,
just reach the village of Fermignano and we'll pick you up from there.
Not to forget:not too
big, comfortable hiking boots (we'll need to walk sometimes), spats, rain clothing,
sleeping bag, flashlight.
Prices:The
prices include an expert guide, rent of the horse and equipment, insurance,
overnight stay in tent or shelter, breakfast, packed lunch, dinner (last day dinner
is included only in longertrekkings)
