The Experience

The stable houses horses that need care. We focus on horse training, riding lessons, and equestrian shows, as well as falconry and fire juggling. A gym/training room is also available. We are in the countryside, so having a means of transportation or organizing with public transport is necessary to get around. Equestrian Center located between Cesena and Cesenatico, in the heart of Romagna, just a 10-minute drive from the sea and close to Rimini.

I had such an amazing one‑week work‑away stay at your place! Everything went far beyond my expectations. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home from the very first day. I really enjoyed the work tasks, and I appreciated your patience and kindness throughout our time together.

It was wonderful to experience local life with you. I learned so much and created many precious memories. Thank you so much for your hospitality, for sharing your home and your stories with me. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone, and I hope I can come back to visit you someday!

I had a great experience working with the horses here in Italy with Silvia, I got so many knowledge with her about how to take care with the horses. The environment is welcoming, and I learned a lot about horse care and daily farm life. The horses are well looked after, and the whole experience was both enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you for the opportunity! I found what I'm looking for. Thanks Silvia

Thank you too Ion ! Your contribution to creating this structure has been truly important.
A lifelong dream of mine, which I want to see become a true Equestrian Academy and a point of reference for Artistic Equitation.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Working with Silvia was fantastic! She taught me so much about horses, which was my biggest goal, and she's a true film expert! The animals there are adorable, and I'll miss them so much! I hope to return as soon as possible, and I definitely recommend Silvia's home to anyone who wants to learn all about horses from a true master!

This is great place to get in touch with horses, Silvia will let you work independently for four hours a day and spend time caring for her horses. Besides that, you are close to Rimini beaches, San Marino historian culture and many spots to discover. However, the place is a little bit isolated and not easy to do the groceries so you will need to rely on the weekly pickup to buy food. Also à great opportunity as well to improve Spanish and Italian .
