A.S.D. SELLA SARDA - Escursione e gite a cavallo in Sardegna / Horse riding tours in Sardinia

We had a wonderful experience! The booking process was very easy and straightforward. Pietro is very knowledgeable about the area and its history and was able to tell us a lot about it. Thanks to his volunteer we got a perfect translation into English as well.The horses are trained amazingly well so that also inexperienced people can go for a ride. Being a complete beginner I felt very comfortable and save with my horse. The trip was a nice mix of relaxed rinding and exciting adventure. We enjoyed wonderful views and some delicious goatmilk :)Thanks for the good time and great stories, we hope we can come back for a overnight track!

È il miglior posto per conoscere il cuore della Sardegna con Pietro e i suoi stupendi cavalli sardi. Fatto diversi percorsi e tornerò appena posso!

It was a really nice ride, the horses were well looked after, and easy to ride. The view was amazing and we also got to see some nice ancient houses of Sardegna. The guide was a really nice guy, he didn't speak English, but tried his best. There were some drinks (beers and soda) after the ride to cool down. Would recommend to go!

Our five hour trail ride was the highlight of our weeklong stay in Sardinia. My husband and I are intermediate riders and we always try to hit one horse riding experience while travelling. It's a great way to get off the typical tourist path and connect with animals, nature and local guides. This experience satisfied all of that plus an extra bit of adventure. Our guides, Ksenia and Pietro were gracious and fun. We bonded over our love of horses and life. When approaching Pietro's business, one is very aware of his complete dedication to the horse; pictures, sculptures, murals everywhere. And when he gets atop his horse, it's pure magic. Ksenia was our translator as Pietro did not speak any English. But she was so much more than that. She has such a beautiful spirit and her smile and laugh were infectious. Our horses knew their jobs and were amazingly sure-footed on the rocky terrain. Our adventure was tailored to our skill level and we would recommend any equestrian looking for a new experience to book a day with A.S.D. Sella Sarda.

This feedback refers to a five days horse trek in the Supramonte area fromApril 23rd to 27th 2023.Organization:Our trek had been discussed and planned some months before by email with a former volunteer who was organizing treks for Sellasarda. This volunteer, Svetlana from Russia, went to great lenghts to answer all our questions regarding the upcoming trip, nothing was left to guessing. Some weeks before our trek started we communicated with the new volunteer, Barbara from Naples. Again we went into a very detailed discussion about practical aspects of the trek and what to bring.Our first meeting with Pietro and Barbara was a warm and friendly welcome and we (my wife, a friend of ours and myself ) were invited for drinks at a local pub.The trek proper started the next morning at Pietro`s stable where we were introduced to our horses. Pietro had selected our mounts reflecting the different levels of experience within our small group and the following days showed he had done so very expertly.The horses:All the horses were, though individual characters in their own way, of impressive surefootedness. Even in very steep and rugged terrain we never felt insecure on our mounts. Though being highly sensitive to commands they never reacted overexcited or anxious and were in general easy to handle.The area:Our trek took us through the very heart of the Supramonte mountains, the scenery was very versatile and changed several times during the course of one day. Our trek led us through untouched forests of cedar and oak, over pastures with flocks of sheep and to viewpoints of magnificent panoramas. As for wildlife we encountered wild horses, saw falcons and came upon groups of „mufflones“.The team:The trek was led by Pietro and we could not have wished for a better guide. Having worked all his life in that very area he knew every nook and cranny by heart. Whatever our questions were regarding fauna, flora or local history, Pietro left nothing unanswered. He also had a keen eye on his guests and was always helpful in an unobtrusive way. Being an expert when it came to Sardinian food, we were treated with delicious barbecues and hearty lunches, always consisting of local ingredients, often from his own garden and washed down with tasty red wine, also by Pietro`s making.Barbara from Naples, volunteer in residence, made up the rear in our trekking. Being a terrific rider, her Napolitanian temperament and her exquisit command of the English tongue made her the ideal interpreter between guide and guests. In the evening we were met by Luciano, always the friendly driver from Orgossolo, bringing our gear for the night and fodder for the horses and sharing the sundowner beer with us.Overall impression:Our Supramonte horse trek was in all aspects an outstanding experience, very professionally conducted and rich in personal touches! We are very grateful for this chance to experience Sardinia at its best. Strongly recommended for everyone who loves riding in a stunning environment and warmhearted company!

I have taken part in many rides, also on Sardinia, but none was as great and funny as the one with Pietro and Sophie on their great horses. You really get a lot for your money. A ride on very well trained and quiet horses, through mystic forests and mountains, along rivers and lakes, with a view of tame and wild horses and other animal species, many watering places for humans and horses, simple but tasty food prepared by Pietro, who likes it, many gallop sections and much more. Not to forget the good service by Pietro and the great, almost professional photos by Sophie, which remind you of this great ride even after your holiday. The safety of the riding guests is also very important. Helmet, vest and chaps are provided by Pietro.My girlfriend started riding lessons in Germany only a few months ago and has never ridden a gallop before. She says, and I can confirm it, that she learned more during this ride than in the past riding lessons together. And because it was so great, we did another 10 hour ride a few days later, this time. And again we were not disappointed. Pietro and his team leave nothing to chance and make every effort to make the ride an unforgettable adventure.

Esperienza bellissima. Pietro è davvero competente e i suoi cavalli molto bravi. Abbiamo passato due ore fantastiche in sua compagnia e ci ha fatto scoprire scorci dell’entroterra sardo a noi sconosciuti. Assolutamente consigliato

When planning my trip I saw the 64x 5* ratings and no others and thought that is a fake". But it wasn't. To differ a little in the rating I would like to give 6* ;-) (unfortunately impossible).There are already lots of ratings from beginners so I would add one from 40 years of riding experience.This horses (Sardinian Anglo-Arabs) are just fantastic: I never saw such sure-footed horses before. They run through the steep

Pietro e Barbara squisite persone, professionali, simpatiche,pazienti e veramente amanti dei cavalli ci hanno fatto passare una bellissima giornata tra i monti di Orgosolo.Consigliamo calorosamente questa esperienza a tutti
