Enjoy horseback riding through the beautiful mountains of Costa Rica on our healthy, happy, Parelli trained horses. Lodging and horseback riding day trips as well as multi-day treks through the mountains and to the beach are available. Yearly Parelli workshops with 5 star instructor David Lichman too!David Lichman has this to say about our horses:
“Barking Horse Farm and Establo San Rafael have Level 2 trained horses, with exceptional reliability and sure-footedness for trails.”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 our art cottage. And everyone loves swimming in the pristine rivers and waterfalls nearby.
