The guide
Giancarlo Cabras
A true passion for horses and Sardinia
For Giancarlo, the riding centre is much more than a job: it is a passion born from his love for horses, nature and his homeland. With patience, experience and great care, he accompanies guests on every ride, conveying confidence and calm.
Many of his horses were personally bred, raised and trained by him, creating a genuine bond of trust between humans and animals.
