WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Learn, grow, share.

Our school not only teaches how to ride, but how to build a deep bond with the animal.
Professional training and passion, under the guidance of qualified FISE and ASC instructors

Courses for children and teenagers

We introduce the little ones to the equestrian world through a play-educational method, under the guidance of a 1st-level FISE certified instructor (show jumping and dressage) and ASC. The lessons focus on handling the pony or horse from the ground and in the saddle, using play as a tool to develop balance and confidence. (3-8 years)

Adult lessons
Show Jumping and Dressage

Structured courses for every level, from beginner to advanced rider, taught by a qualified FISE 1st level and ASC instructor. We focus on classical English riding technique, nurturing sensitivity and deep communication between horse and rider.

Competitive training
Show Jumping and Dressage

For those who aspire to compete, we offer advanced training programs coordinated by our FISE Level 1 and ASC certified instructor. The focus is on perfecting the horse and rider partnership to successfully tackle national competitive circuits.

Strolling through the hills of Siena

Explore Sinalunga like you've never seen it before. Our horses, trained for equestrian tourism, will accompany you along exclusive trails.

Vineyard Trekking

A relaxing experience among the rows of Sangiovese vines and ancient olive groves of our estate. Ideal for families with children (aged 3 and up), couples, and large groups looking for a safe and charming first introduction to Tuscan nature.

This morning we had the pleasure of taking a wonderful two-hour horseback ride through the Sienese countryside thanks to the Il Poggio ASD Equestrian Club. The instructors were both friendly and professional at the same time! Even though it was our first time, relaxation is guaranteed! Highly recommended experience!

Bella passeggiata tra il verde delle campagne toscane, i cavalli erano tranquillissimi e tenuti molto bene.
Davvero consigliato!

Super preparati per le lezioni di equitazione, sia per chi inizia sia per chi vuole migliorare nel salto ostacoli o nel dressage.
Si respira passione, professionalità e amore per i cavalli. Super consigliato!
