When we came to Costa Rica 8 years ago, we traveled all over the country looking for a place to build our homes, a place with beautiful mountains, lush rivers, wild life, and great trails for riding. We found it here in Puriscal. The area surrounding the farm has some of the most stunning mountain views we have seen any where. There are miles and miles of old ox cart roads, trails through private farms and quiet country roads for riding on. The trails take us to rushing rivers with water falls and swimming holes, along mountain ridges with 360 degree views and through dense tropical forests filled with birds and other wildlife. We invite you to come and enjoy this tropical paradise with us on our beautiful, Parelli trained horses. Check out our web pages to meet our horses and to and learn about the riding we have to offer. You won’t be disappointed.

“Barking Horse Farm and Establo San Rafael have Parelli trained horses, with exceptional reliability and sure-footedness for trails.” 5* Parelli professional David Lichman
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!
David Litchman gave me your address because I’m interested in the fantastic opportunity to ride in the jungle on Parelli horses
Not sure I will be able to make it happen but I would absolutely love to do it. I’m 70 plus a few years, but expect to be kicking for hopefully many more years with horses.
My computer would not let me down load the itinery for the treck to the ocean. Is it possible to send it some other way . When my computer says it can’t do something, I don’t fight with it, as it always wins
thanks, Betsy Arnold
