The farm and agricultural business of Uberto Alma was founded in 2009 by this young Canavese entrepreneur. Uberto combined his passion for carriage driving with breeding horses – in particular Friesian and KWPN (Royal Dutch warmblood) horses.  He also breeds Sardinian donkeys. Uberto inherited this passion from his family – especially his father, a collector of period carriages and horse-drawn vehicles for transporting passengers and goods.

The stables have been recently constructed using ecologically sustainable standards for breeding horses and donkeys with grounds for driving and riding horses. Borgata Chiusellaro is a typical countryside hamlet of Pavone Canavese near the Chiusella river, close to the castles of Pavone, Masino and Parella; surrounded by the Morenic amphitheatre of Ivrea.
