Description:
In many guidebooks, you can read that we are well-known not only for the quality of our horses and the diversity of our tours, but also for the special care we show all of our customers.
We are constantly improving the quality of our services for our riding guests. Prior to beginning the ride, we provide a thorough briefing about horse riding skills and safety in four languages. We provide helmets to all riders and we have all necessary insurance coverage. Our local guides are paid a good salary with social security. All our rides leave from our farm. Our farm is located 2 km outside of the village of Santa Elena, where we can see toucans, toucanettes, motmots, bellbirds and parrots. And every once in a while, a group of white faced monkeys passes in front of our farm. We ride on campesino trails that offer excellent views of the Pacific Ocean and the stunning local landscape passing also coffee plantations. We have been providing safe and enjoyable experiences for families more... and riders of all ages. We take pride in the special care and attention we give to all of our customers, especially children and first-time riders. Ask also about our children's summer camps and vaulting classes.
Horses were one of the main reasons why I decided to live in Costa Rica since 1999.
My daughter Tara was born in Monteverde and is Costa Rican.
Monteverde offers an ideal climate for horses. It is fresh and green all year round. For horseback riding, the local Campesino trails are the best, going through farmland & cloud forest, besides offering stunning views of the gulf of Nicoya or Volcano Arenal on the other side of the Continental divide.
I love my horses and have a relationship with them, following the ideas of Mark Rashid and GaWaNi Pony Boy (a native American Indian from his book: Horse Follow Closely). My horses are healthy and well taken care of. They are part of my family.
I like to communicate my knowledge and love of horses to the people who ride with us. That’s why the rider learns about horses and riding, so you feel not only safe on the horse, but you feel he is your friend. When you treat a horse well he becomes your friend and he likes to ride with you.
