The Italian Cowgirl Adventure

Round 'em up, Italian style!  An unforgettable herding experience on the high plateaus of the Apennine mountains of the stunning Sirente-Velino Regional Park, in the Province of L'Aquila, Abruzzo 

Round 'em up on the Italian Plains

Through grasslands banked by glacial mountains and fields of wildflowers where wild ponies roam, you'll herd 150 cattle, including white Chianini, one of the world's oldest breeds, alongside the ranch hands back home to Marco Ranieri's ranch outside the village of Ovindoli...a ride you'll never forget!
