MEETING HEART TO HEART ♥️

We will choose together the horses with which to deepen the acquaintance, trying to guess the better binomial.

🌿At first you will learn how to approach them, caress them, brush them, taking care of their body.

🌿The horses at this stage will begin to get to know you and trust you by starting to relax.

🌿The second phase begins by taking them by hand into the paths of the Oasis.

🌿Small exercises of communication, walking alongside, will serve to become more familiar with horses, to establish a relationship of mutual esteem.

🌿When the horses and people have reached serenity of mind and practicality in driving from the ground, for those who want, you can experience the saddle, always accompanied by an operator alongside until you get to lead the horses independently.

🌿The duration of the experience varies from 1.30 to 2 hours. Suitable for everyone, max 4 people, max 2 children), suitable for those who have never had contact with horses, for those who are afraid and want to overcome it, for riders who have already had experiences and want to approach in a more emotional way.

N.b. 🌿This meeting is also preparatory for more experienced riders who later wish to experience the wonderful horseback riding in the Oasis with us.

In this case, this moment of relationship from the ground is fundamental for the tranquility of our horses and riders, who once in the saddle, will have the opportunity to continue the walk having known the basics of communication with our horses.

VAL COGENA

A few kilometers from Borgo Val di Taro (PR) there is a unique and wild valley: it is Val Cogena which divides Belforte from Baselica. 🥾🥾Once you arrive in Belforte you can leave the car 🚘and continue on foot towards La Pietra (keeping the path indicated with 'waterfalls' for the return). After passing all the stone houses🏡 of La Pietra, continue along a carriage road that leads to an ancient wooden bridge built in 1800 and which it had the function of connecting Belforte with Baselica. Going back slightly on the carriage road, you then follow the path indicated by red and white trail signs that lead to the bed of the Cogena stream. 💦 Along the route, characterized by chestnut woods 🌰 even centuries-old, there are some chestnut dryers, evidence of a thriving rural economy of the past. You then arrive at the stream full of natural pools, crystal clear water pools and waterfalls where you can cool off on hot summer days. ☀️Along the Cogena route you come across a spectacular and enormous giants' muffler: a very particular rock conformation in the shape of a pool resulting from river erosion in areas characterized by ancient glaciers. 🧊Going further down the path you reach a point where you can begin to go up the Cogena to reach the highest waterfall, the one of about 20 meters in a totally wild and little-known environment. To return to Belforte you can go back along the same route or pass next to the Tonga Mill along a rocky path with a breathtaking view🤩🤩🤩
