We are having a great time riding Beau with out reins in the ring. He stops with only the leg commands and stays relaxed and calm in all the gaits. This is great for a right brain introvert that he is. Doing this has also helped him stay calm and pay attention when he is out on trail rides. We love Beau!

Our farm is conveniently located only one hour from the airports and San Jose yet in the rural, mountainous countryside. Our vacations combine horseback riding, farm life, nature exploration, cultural activities and time for play and relaxation. Children love our farm animals and everyone loves swimming in the pristine rivers and waterfalls nearby.
Visit our guest book or trip advisor to hear what guests say about our vacations. We hope to see you here!
