Take little adventurers on a pony ride in the Tuscan Hills

Welcome to our stables at Maneggio San Felice, nestled in the rolling Tuscan hills, where your little ones will meet our Shetland ponies, learn how to care for them, and enjoy playful rides—all in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. • We’ll learn the art of grooming as we brush the ponies together. I’ll share fun insights about their behavior, teaching kids how to “read” a pony’s mood through ear movements. • After preparing the ponies with me, children will practice leading them and giving simple voice commands. Then, they’ll experience the joy of riding, even learning how to stop their pony using just their voice! • We’ll wrap up with a relaxing break featuring homemade tea, cookies, and my signature schiacciata al rosmarino, all while surrounded by our ponies and the beauty of the countryside. Curious little adventurers can also visit our chicken coop and hear stories about the nocturnal wildlife of our land. Whether your child is meeting a pony for the first time or already loves horses, this 1.5-hour experience is an opportunity to connect with animals, nature, and the rhythm of life at the stables.
