THIS RIDE TAKES YOU THROUGH THE HEART OF COSTA RICA.
Travel down historic ox cart trails and through private farms traversing areas of Costa Rica that tourists never go.
Be awed by the beauty of the pristine wilderness only reached by horseback, miles from any roads.
Gallop along secluded beaches, ride bareback and swim with your horse in the ocean!
Join us for one of this season's scheduled rides! Visit our website for more information about our beautiful horses and all the other activities offered.
