"Fantastic horse trekking We had a great time trekking. The horses were sublime, even tempered and responsive and Denis our guide made sure we all had a good time. For lunch we had the most amazing barbecue of traditional Abruzzo fare with wine and beer and drank water from a natural spring. The highlight of the trek was in the afternoon when we cantered across the plains amongst hundreds of wild horses with their foals. Highly recommended and we will certainly return"Sevengables
