Easter Hooves

A truly original egg hunt in Bernezzo

In Bernezzo, a small town in the province of Cuneo nestled in the green Piedmontese valleys, Easter is celebrated in a special way. Easter Hooves is the spring event organized by the La Casa nella Prateria equestrian center on Via Funsa, which transforms the classic egg hunt into a brand-new adventure: here, children don't hunt for eggs on foot, but on pony-back.

The name of the event itself is a playful pun—the "hooves" of the ponies instead of the "eggs"—that perfectly captures the spirit of the initiative: combining the magic of Easter with a passion for horses in a safe, family-friendly setting.

An afternoon dedicated to the little ones

The day is designed primarily for children, who are welcomed regardless of their background. Between rides, young participants set off in search of colorful eggs hidden around the center, take part in games and equestrian activities tailored just for them, and soak up the festive atmosphere, enhanced by Easter decorations, sweets, and small surprises for everyone.

More than just an event, it is an opportunity to introduce children to the world of horses: contact with ponies helps little ones develop self-confidence, a sense of responsibility, and patience in a serene, family-oriented environment.

The setting: La Casa nella Prateria

La Casa nella Prateria is an agricultural and equestrian center in Bernezzo that offers year-round horse-related experiences for all ages: from introductory sessions to first riding lessons, from trail rides to pony games, and even birthday parties. The backdrop is the Cuneo mountains, a natural setting that makes every initiative even more evocative.

With Easter Hooves, the Bernezzo center confirms its commitment to creating moments of joy shared between adults, children, and four-legged friends, in the true Piedmontese spirit of hospitality and connection to the land.
