Just an hour from Florence, between Siena and Pisa, Alterreno offers 30 hectares of facilities devoted to horse well-being and rider growth.
THE ART OF SPACE, DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION
Supporting horses means listening deeply. At Alterreno, every space, from pasture to training arena, is designed to foster well-being, balance and true partnership.
Natural paddocks with large fenced pastures where horses live in small, safe groups. Managed 24/7 or with nighttime stabling based on temperament and needs, ideal for young horses, adults seeking balance, or those requiring specific support.
Two bright, spacious stables in shaded areas with optimal climate comfort. Daily cleaning by trained staff, monitored stallion area with separate management, solarium, heated wash bay and seven-day assistance.
Professional 20x60 arena with French sand footing, LED lighting, audio system and irrigation. Designed for dressage, jumping, endurance and all training disciplines, with reliable footing for daily work in every season.
20x60 outdoor arena with all-weather textile footing for consistent work in every season. Ideal for building confidence in open-air environments while maintaining professional training standards.
Expansive natural grass area featuring logs, bridges, platforms, water obstacles and varied terrain. Designed to challenge horses mentally and physically while building confidence, problem-solving skills and adaptability through playful exploration rather than repetitive drilling.
Four round pens, 15 meters and 17 meters diameter, with quality footing. Dedicated spaces for groundwork, liberty work, lunging and developing communication through body language. Essential for initial training, rehabilitation work and deepening horse-human connection without riding pressure.
Wood chip surface track, 800 meters, perfect for developing canter rhythm, building aerobic capacity and strengthening without joint stress. Soft, forgiving surface protecting tendons and ligaments while allowing horses to stretch into forward movement and develop natural balance.
Dedicated areas for pole work, cavaletti exercises and technical skill development. Adjustable equipment supporting progression from basic coordination through advanced gymnastic work. Essential for building rhythm, improving balance and developing scope without repetitive, mindless drilling.
Winding trails through countryside offering varied terrain, natural obstacles and breathtaking views. Perfect for building confidence outside arenas, developing trail horse skills and providing mental refreshment. Combines fitness work with exploration, relaxation and discovering new balance outdoors.
The Alterreno facility infrastructure represents thoughtful design, consolidating all key elements that shape well-prepared, responsive, centred horses and riders who thrive in carefully created spaces rather than merely surviving adequate ones.
ALTERRENO INFRASTRUCTURE
Every facility at Alterreno serves the core philosophy: horses are sentient beings deserving environments that support their nature rather than forcing adaptation to human convenience. Infrastructure built with care, maintained with presence.
Facilities designed around horses' innate needs, movement, social contact, varied terrain, shelter choice and freedom to express natural behaviours. Paddocks are living spaces where horses access companionship and movement.
Every arena, pen and training space meets professional dimensions and quality standards. Members train on surfaces that support soundness while developing skills, preparing horses for any discipline without sacrificing long-term well-being.
Infrastructure planned to minimize injury risk while maximizing freedom. Fencing that contains without trapping. Video monitoring where stallions require observation. Every detail considered through the lens of what serves horse safety first.
Facilities function across Tuscany's seasonal variations, summer heat, winter rain, spring growth. Turnout rotation, shelter access and maintenance routines ensure horses live well regardless of weather rather than suffering through seasonal challenges.
Facilities remain accessible to members while protecting horses' rest and routine. Scheduling systems prevent arena overcrowding. Quiet hours honor horses' need for stillness. Infrastructure serves both human learning and equine well-being.
Spaces at Alterreno are designed to nurture body, mind and relationship. Every structure is thoughtfully designed to support horses at every stage of growth, stimulating them with care and awareness while prioritizing safety and well-being at every turn.
