- Francesca I3 contributionsRiding in the woods in contact with nature, with the scents of pine, the chirping of birds and the roar of river water ... climbing the mountain on horseback of Striscia🐎 walking the paths in the woods, galloping on steep climbs and then arriving on a small plain to see the immensity of these views was magnificent. The horses of the structure are all very good and docile, well cared for and the people who follow the route are attentive and valuable in indicating how to face the paths and avoid dangers. There is no lack of sensitivity to explain how to position the body uphill and downhill to avoid making the horse suffer. Recommendation to book the 2 hours because they are also feasible for beginners and leave an unforgettable memory. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

- Claudia Z2 contributionsI was looking for a special idea to organize a surprise and I was lucky enough to find the ranch "Charlotte Horse Riding", a special place in the heart of an equally magical valley. I had opted for the 1.30 h experience and could not have been more satisfied! Our Guide, who guided the excursion from the ground, immediately welcomed us with affability and explained the best way to approach the ride, having minimal experience; this always with an eye to our well-being and also that of the horses we mounted, treated with great respect and love. During the horseback "walk" in the woods and meadows around the Ranch, the Guide was also able to solve an inconvenience, due to the barrier of the route initially planned, so we could still enjoy the experience! It is also wonderful to hear the stories of the horses we mounted, recovered with tenacity and dedication from situations of abuse; congratulations to the entire ranch team for the magnificent work they are doing in this regard! We got off the horses with the impression of having lived a dream out of time, and the photos taken by the Guide (only by the Guide, for just safety reasons) will be precious memories that we will always keep! Thank you.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 27, 2024
- Vita L1 contributionA truly magical experience at the Charlotte Horse Riding! From the first moment I felt welcomed as family: the owner, an extraordinary woman, and her staff, composed of sweet people, always available and very prepared, put you immediately at ease. The horseback ride was a daydream: riding surrounded by nature, with breathtaking landscapes, was regenerating and full of emotions. Every detail is taken care of with passion and love, from the horses, wonderfully cared for and quiet, to the attention to guests. It was an experience that I will carry in my heart and that I recommend to anyone who wants to live a unique and special moment. I can not wait to return!Visited December 2024Traveled with friendsWritten December 24, 2024
- SickpunyMilan, Italy212 contributionsBeautiful "romantic walk" for 2: a couple of hours immersed in wonderful landscapes, with small stretches of gallop and trot (very fun!) Michael and Angelo, the guides, were very professional and nice. Thanks to Macchia and Stella, two very good horses of the riding school, it turned out to be a wonderful experience!Visited January 2025Traveled as a coupleWritten January 5, 2025
- Alessandro S6 contributionsGreat experience!! We are an Apulian group here on holiday and we decided to book this type of experience that turned out to be magical!! Carlotta and the staff met all our needs when booking and on our arrival they were very friendly and very kind!! The very polite and talented horses accompanied us for a walk that under the snow was exciting to say the least! Everything perfect and we thank the entire staff and Carlotta for being there for the entire duration of the walk. Experience to really recommend to anyone, young and old, experienced and not. We hope to return to the area soon to repeat the magic! Thanks again!! 😁Visited December 2024Traveled with friendsWritten December 24, 2024
- GaiaLurago D'Erba, Italy5 contributionsEsperienza meravigliosa!! The first day we received a fabulous welcome from Carlotta, her parents and all the staff, although busy with the furry ones. They explained to us carefully arguing from A to Z all available experiences, costs etc. The next day we took advantage of their warm invitation and had the experience for 2 hours... Beh che dire, FAVOLOSO!!! Before leaving Carlotta gave us the basic instructions that any person who is willing to listen to her could understand... (even for some members of the group who were inexperienced or novice). During the walk the staff followed us all the time! Correcting possible mistakes with extreme kindness and attention. The trip (if you follow the directions well) can only be a unique experience!!! Quindi CONSIGLIATISSIMO!!! 💪 Ps. Do not stop at the appearance (which often deceives) or at some reviews that are really the opposite of what you will find!Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 3, 2024
- Valentina V1 contributionIt is years that during my summer holiday in Val di Fassa I participate in horseback riding organized by Carotta and I have always had a great time. Wonderful and quiet horses and staff always ready to give advice to improve their way of relating with horses by putting the welfare of animals first, which is fundamental for me.

The idea was to close our stay in Canazei with a new experience: an excursion on horseback. We booked via WhatsApp asking for the 1h and a half formula. My husband and I never got on a horse and it seemed more than enough. At the time of payment we were asked 160 euros, then 2h excursion, because it was obviously fine to all the other participants (the hour and a half not even mentioned).Obviously the Pos for payment did not work...Get on the saddle, explanation of the rudiments of riding in about 10 minutes. Ready to go, wade through a torrent (it doesn't seem like a beginner's experience!). And from there begin the screams and reprimands of various kinds of the owner Carlotta and assistants Claudio and Ramon, I think. You don't hold the reins like this, you don't hold your shoulders like this, you don't hold your heels like this... In my humble opinion, those who have never led a horse should be guided in a flat path, without particular difficulties to deal with and encouraged in an empathetic way, not continually reprimanded in a bad way in front of the whole group. Why not differentiate the routes? One for the more experienced and the other for the inexperienced. The rocky, steep climbs in the woods, to be faced uphill and downhill, do not seem to me for everyone. As well as the trot: x who has never ridden a horse, you could also avoid. To conclude: a girl overturned with her horse during the stops on a plateau and I was guided with a rope, because I made the mare proceed too slowly and did not lead her properly with the reins. Finally the descent from the horse: only explained orally and without a practical demonstration
Obviously I am reprimanded again in front of everyone present x not having dealt with it in the correct way! My husband apologizes, even if it should have been the staff of the riding school, for the lack of tact, empathy with inexperienced customers and the prevailing rudeness!

I edit the review because I was threatened with a defamation suit. I did not like the excursion because the staff was rude... Just arrived not even a skimpy good morning ... invite you to sign a discharge of responsibility form (even in case of death!) and then make you sit inside the "riding school" if so you can define where to make the payment, in cash because "the pos does not work" (I read from the reviews that it was like this last year!) and without any receipt (then sent late in the evening by text)
Before leaving you are invited to leave your phone down because it is forbidden to take pictures “for safety reasons”....
Unfortunately I am mocked for the experience of the English mountain and am thus downgraded almost to
"Incapace”
The route is definitely not suitable for beginners, very dangerous with steep climbs and as many descents... forced to gallop even if you did not want to... I personally believe that those who get on horseback the first time are traumatized.
Guides who repeatedly scold riders shouting at them...
Happy to have come to the end of the tour and to have brought home the skin!
Traumatized I happily return to my riding school with English riding and my super instructor!
Ps: they also let children of 9/10 years (which by law you could not) mount a walk at altitude because they have private insurance that allows it.
I console myself by reading that other people in the reviews noted the same impressions as me.

Is it possible to combine firmness, sweetness and poetry? Of course!
Firmness, in accept and follow the rules that make the animal and man friends, allies.
Sweetness of a smile for those riding for the first time.
Poetry of the relationship between everyone, their horse, friends of the group, the mystery of the path in the woods by the stream.
All this is Charlotte and her fellow adventurers, men and four-legged friends and mane.
Thank you very much.

A lovely experience led by Charlotte and her team. Stella and Nespola were great horses with unique and charming personalities. You can see the love and passion from Charlotte and her team poured into the experience and the horses. If we ever return, we would definitely book again if we were back in the area.

Fantastico!
My boyfriend and I did a two-person ride with Guide, for the total duration of 4 hours. I rode as a child, while for him it was the first time in the saddle.
As described, despite this difference in level the walk was really suitable for both. This is thanks to the horses assigned with care based on the directions provided during the Reservation, the choice of route and the competence of our Guide who put us both at ease and guided us through beautiful landscapes and particular passages (a wonder to be able to ford the river!). The experience requires that even a Beginner can try the three gaits and so it was, always safely and without forcing anyone, also taking into account how the person feels at the time.
As Guide we had Claudio, who was fantastic: competent, helpful but above all passionate about horses and nature, a passion that conveys in a genuine way and that gave the experience an extra gear.
Kenya and Flicky, the mares assigned to us, were crazy 😊
All the staff is kind and prepared, the information clear, before leaving are given the basics for the management of horses (however all good and used to all levels) on the walk.
Esperienza altamente consigliata!

We booked, my husband and I, a 2 hour group walk and it was magnificent!
Alas, we were 30 minutes late, due to traffic, and they waited for us without making us weigh it. The guys who went out with us were very courteous and professional, and showed an attention and empathy for the horses, which is rare.
The horses are very well kept, in fact they were recovered by incompetent people. Stain is the best :D
The walk was beautiful, in the snow among woods, valleys and streams. Highly recommended!

Every year we treat ourselves to at least a walk in the mountains with Carlotta and her horses. The girls started when they were 3 and 5, and it's one of the best experiences to have together. Carlotta, and all her team, are careful and scrupulous, especially in terms of safety, during the walk; the horses are well trained and during the rides (group or private) we cross unique landscapes, both in winter, with snow at high altitude, and in summer.
The added value also lies in the fact that many of the horses in the riding school are recovered from situations of abuse or mistreatment, and with Carlotta's care they return to a better life.
Highly recommended!

After a previous experience that had left me disappointed, I finally found the pleasure of a real horseback ride with my family! I sincerely appreciated the care and attention that went into creating an experience that respected the different levels of expertise (starting with the assignment of horses) and that made everyone feel in total safety.
It was not a simple walk, but also an opportunity to learn something. Personally I am very happy to have given this experience to my children!
The staff was very knowledgeable and kind.
In short, I highly recommend!

My first time ever riding a horse and I could not have imagined a better place to do so! The instructions were very clear and easy to practice. They will chosse the best suiting horse for you to ride on. As it was my first time being near a horse, they gave me a calm and sweet one to ride on.
The experience was amazing! We went through mountain forests and a river and for someone with no experience I was allowed trotting and galloping in a safe manner.
All horses at the ranch are rescued and it was clear that the staff took the best care of them as they were all strong and healthy.
Highly recommend anyone who loves horses and is curious about how cool riding a horse through the Dolomites can be. You also help out the ranch a lot so they can take care of these beautiful animals and rescue even more from a challenging life.

Children? This is not the right place! We came with children aged 9-13 without previous riding experience and the experience was very bad. The explanations according to the riding are not satisfactory and when the children were not able to control the horse in the first few minutes, shouting started from the owner and it ended with most of the group getting off the horses and not going on the trip. We did not get the money we paid (€65 per person) back... not recommended...
