Antonio Mazza's Donkey Ride

A special project that combines nature, tradition, and well-being

Among the authentic landscapes of the Berchidda hinterland, an experience is born that combines nature, tradition, wellness, and discovery of the territory.
This initiative was conceived by Antonio Mazza, the fruit of a life spent in the countryside and a deep love for animals and the genuine rhythms of nature.
From this passion, a special project was born that allows you to experience the area through walks with donkeys raised with full respect for their well-being. These docile, healthy animals are accustomed to living freely in the pastures, following the natural rhythms that have always characterized rural life.

Onotherapy between protection and safeguarding of the species

The donkeys, which meet the Sardinian donkey standards, also represent an important contribution to the protection and safeguarding of a breed that is gradually at risk of extinction.
Preserving these animals means safeguarding a legacy of the island's culture and tradition, keeping alive a deep bond with the land.
Excursions are not just a chance for recreation, but an experience that focuses on the relationship between humans, animals, and the environment.
Donkeys, thanks to their calm and affectionate nature, are ideal companions for recreational activities and for therapeutic support practices, such as onotherapy.
This discipline uses the relationship with donkeys as a tool for well-being and emotional, educational, and relational support. These animals' natural gentleness, patience, and ability to establish a spontaneous rapport with people can promote relaxation, improve communication, boost self-confidence, and contribute to the development of interpersonal skills. This is particularly useful in programs for children, the elderly, and those with specific needs.

Among paths, countryside, and landscapes that reveal the most authentic soul of Gallura Monte Acuto

During the walks, you'll pass through landscapes of extraordinary environmental and naturalistic value, along paths, through countryside, and through landscapes that reveal the most authentic soul of Gallura Monte Acuto. The journey thus becomes a slow and engaging way to observe nature, listen to its sounds, and rediscover the pleasure of living unhurriedly.

The experience also allows you to come into contact with small local producers, authentic examples of local tradition and craftsmanship. Among these is the Mini Limbara Dairy, where visitors can witness the stages of milk processing and transformation, closely observing gestures and techniques that pass down ancient knowledge. Antonio Mazza's initiative is much more than a simple excursion: it is an invitation to experience Berchidda through an emotional experience, connecting with nature, rural culture, and respect for animals, rediscovering a different and authentic way to delve into the true soul of the area.
Donkey Farm can be reached in just a few minutes from the center of Berchidda, along the road to Calangianus. Once you pass through the entrance gate, you enter the magical world of donkeys, scattered everywhere and free to roam. A beautiful rural house, perfectly integrated into the surrounding environment, is where Antonio welcomes visitors to offer them a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
