Should you book the nighttime horseback ride?

Yes, book in advance : nighttime outings are often organized on specific dates, sometimes around the full moon, and some only depart with a minimum number of riders. In Maremma, a package departing from Scansano takes about 5 à 6 heures, with a gourmet break; the organizer indicates a price of around 130 € per person. This price corresponds to this specific outing, not to a general rate for all of Tuscany.

Contact the center as soon as your dates are set and ask for confirmation of the departure, the required level, the number of participants and what is included. The weather or a group that is too small can lead to a change or cancellation; so plan a backup solution if this outing matters a lot to your program. Also ask whether beginners are accepted: some nighttime rides are long, and are not necessarily suitable if you have never ridden a horse. For clothing, go with long pants and closed shoes, then follow the riding stable's instructions.
