Our story

A family passion since 1990.

At the gateway to the Madonie Park, between Castelbuono, Cefalù and the landscapes of the interior, there is a place where time still follows the horses’ pace.

Born as a small private stable, Cavallonatura has become a landmark for those discovering the equestrian world or wishing to explore it more deeply. From cultivated hills to woodland, from snow-covered peaks to the coast, every route reveals a different Sicily.
