The connection between Sicily’s horses and its people is deep. An example of this is the native Sicilian horse. It was bred in the Madonie and Nebrodi mountains, Palermo and Agrigento. Another example of a horse is Sanfratellano, which is a wild horse that lives in the Nebrodi mountains. This strong, robust horse seems to reflect the harshness of these lands, and can also be used for equestrian tourism.
The perfect place for horseback riding in the natural parks of the Madonie and Nebrodi all the way to Palermo.
