If you are thinking about Mantua countryside as an obscure patch of Po Valley, you are wrong. Actually the landscape is surprisingly variegated. Coming from North, you will find the morainic hills gently shelving into a green ground sprinkled with ancient villages and crossed by rivers and canals; you will arrive this way to the red-bricked Mantua. Then, sailing placidly southwards along Mincio river, you will get into Po course and see its banks, towpaths, flood plains and poplar groves.

Riding is a memorable way to discover this land: you can gallop alongside a canal and imagine your horse stretching more than you might believe; or you can slacken the reins and walk in pairs, chatting while trying to catch sight of pheasants, coots, herons and egrets.

Farm accommodation owners will often be glad to teach you how to ride horseback or to go with you for a walk in the countryside. Here are some activities you can do: carriage driving school, riding in a carriage, vaulting, Western riding style school, English riding style school to hurdle or to fox hunt.

If your itinerary is more than a day long, there are several farms where you can rest and let your horse be tent.

Mantua provides all the facilities for horseriding lovers.
