Riding schools <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On my return from Cape Verde, after falling in love with the horses and the serenity with which I lived in those few steps on the beach, I immediately decide to look for stables, riding schools and horse clubs in Bologna and its environs and to embark on my sheer journey in the equestrian world.<\/p>\n

I state first <\/strong>:\u00a0 I am an itinerant and curious person … so how could a person like me go alone in only one place? No, that’s not me. So from June 2016 till today I rambled through schools and I discovered and learned a lot about the world of horse riding and its concepts \u2026 each of them with its own “style” assigned by the owner who is also the trainer.<\/p>\n

A close friend, who hangs around the equestrian world for many years, advised me a school:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

SIB: Horse Racing Company of Bologna<\/b>\u00a0<\/em>English Riding – Show jumping<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It is a welcoming equestrian club and riding school affiliated to FISE, dived into the splendid nature of the hills on the outskirts of Bologna.<\/em><\/p>\n

The riding training is one of the main activities of the school, strictly and professionally supervised by FISE trainer\u00a0Barbara Muzzarini<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0www.societaippicabolognese.it<\/a><\/p>\n

As soon as I arrived at this equestrian club \u2013 a mysterious place for me \u2013 I met Barbara, the owner and riding trainer, who immediately made me feel like home. She showed me the stable, the horses, the outdoor and indoor courts, the pony school, the jump and the competitive round for kids.<\/p>\n

Barbara scheduled my lessons and my “getting into the saddle”.How exciting it was!<\/p>\n

Finally saddling, walking, trotting and then galloping by my own. \u00a0 What about Barbara and the school? I would use the same words as someone already described her: strong, determined, powerful, honest, and \u2013 I should add \u2013 with an unrestrained passion for animals and horses, of course.<\/p>\n
