Short Forest Adventure - Guided Forest Ride, Ranch Marconi
Short on time but still want a real taste of Istria on horseback? Short Forest Adventure at Ranch Marconi is a relaxed one-hour ride through the peaceful forests surrounding the ranch, high above the Raša Bay - the perfect first ride and a favourite for families and anyone wanting to discover the countryside at an easy pace.
After a short introduction, you are matched with a horse to suit your experience, then set off with your guide along shaded forest trails filled with fresh country air and birdsong. The route is chosen to be safe, calm and genuinely enjoyable, so even if it is your very first time in the saddle, you can simply relax and take it all in.
It is a small adventure with a big reward: unhurried time in nature, the quiet company of these wonderful animals, and a slice of the Istria most visitors never see. And with the hilltop town of Labin just 10 minutes away, it pairs perfectly with a long lunch or an afternoon wandering its old streets.
IMPORTANT: Ranch will contact you directly when the tour starts, depends on the weather, horses available and other unexpected conditions.
