  There are plenty of opportunities for Horse Riding (Beginners or more experienced) BUT if you 
  are safety conscious, which we recommend, then you may have to insist or ask for protective 
  helmets! Two of the main permanent ones are listed but in summer there are other Pop-Up 
  ones dotted around.
 
 
  The Velino - Sirente Paddocks (Rovere)
 
 
  You will see this one on your Left as you get near to Rovere heading towards Ovindoli. Great for beginners as 
  you will go along a flat, circular walk with excellent views of the mountains. 
 
 
  
 
 
  
 
 
  
 
 
  Hard Hats are available if you ask. You can get a drink and there is a Portaloo Toilet
 
 
  It is best to pre-book by telephone, ask for Elise (the Guide who speaks English)

   Maneggio, La Marsica (Ovindoli)  
 
 
  Directions: Coming from Rocca Di Mezzo, and through Rovere, turn Left at the Large 
  Roundabout before you get to Ovindoli (where the market is held) - go past the Picnic Area on 
  the Right - round the bend to the Left then, at the next bend to the Right, you should see the 
  Maneggio sign on the wooden fence.
  You can have a “Taster” for an hour for about 10 Euros each and be well looked after, especially 
  if you are a Novice/First Timer OR you can hire a ride for a half/full day.
  Tel +39 349.5035474 ask for someone who speaks English (You should be lucky!)
