Sarezzano Opens Registration for Mounted Archery Classes Starting in September
Registration is officially open in Sarezzano for a specialized sports program combining horseback riding and traditional target sports, with classes scheduled to begin in mid-September. Organized by the Azienda Agricola – Fattoria Didattica e Sociale “Il Branco Cavalli & Natura,” the mounted archery courses offer a unique athletic discipline that blends equestrian technique with martial arts training, according to local agricultural and promotional network reports.
Understanding the Sport of Mounted Archery
Mounted archery is an ancient Hungarian martial art that has gained a foothold in Italy over recent years, combining equestrian control with hand-eye coordination. According to Elena Nicola, owner of the agricultural enterprise, certified riding instructor specializing in ethological training, and equine rehabilitation assistant, the discipline emphasizes animal welfare and rider body control. «It is interesting because it respects the animal very much, asking the horse for no particular performance; moreover, the rider is without reins and must learn body control, paying attention to hand-eye work,» Nicola explained.
Course Structure and Training Levels
Instruction is led by licensed trainers and divided into structured tiers catering to children, beginners, and advanced participants. Training modules consist of five distinct sessions, each lasting two and a half hours. Program requirements stipulate a baseline level of prior equestrian experience. Participants begin their sessions working on the ground before moving into the saddle, combining physical warm-ups with dedicated technical instruction designed to foster concentration, emotional regulation, and self-confidence.
Organization and Local Agricultural Integration
The host facility operates under the umbrella of Cia Alessandria-Asti and Turismo Verde, connecting rural education with specialized sporting initiatives in the Alessandria province. The initiative is designed to teach pedagogical values such as calm focus and mutual trust between rider and mount. Local organizers have released direct contact channels for prospective participants seeking enrollment details or program schedules ahead of the mid-September launch.
How to Register and Participate
Enrollment inquiries and program details are being managed directly through the farm’s administration. Interested participants can contact instructor Elena at 347 6949028, send email inquiries to [email protected], or visit the official web portal at www.ilbrancocavallienatura.it to secure a spot ahead of the September kickoff.
