Castle Ride

•The RI.Perspective
Castle Ride Retreat takes place at Castello del Calcione, a medieval hamlet in Tuscany where equestrian culture is rooted in the land and in agricultural life.
Led by Matilde, co-founder of Frequenze, together with the professionals of Scuderia del Calcione, the retreat places the horse at its centre: from horseback, participants ride through hills, Lucignano and the Crete Senesi, with non-competitive sessions on two historic tracks connected to the Palio tradition, one of which is still used by professional jockeys.
The work in the saddle allows for a direct relationship with the animal and with nature, while requiring control of movement and the ability to adapt to the rhythm of the horse and the landscape.
To support muscular release after the intensity of the rides and bring attention back to themselves, to the breath and to posture, the days include recovery moments such as Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, meditation and sound healing.
Life at the castle brings together rural hospitality, seasonal meals and plant-based cuisine prepared with local produce. Designed for intermediate to advanced riders, Frequenze offers an experience for those who seek in the horse a physical, technical and deeply immersive practice.
