Our horses are our family, our friends and our life. We have more than 40 years of professional experience. We keep our horses in semi liberty, which means they are grazing freely anytime they aren’t on a tour or giving a lesson. We have 16 sweet and healthy horses, enough to ensure that we rotate horses and allow them to rest and stay healthy, without over exercising. Our main focus is providing our horses with the best possible care. Some of theme live his retire in the mountain side.Our 4 legs babies receive every possible care depending of his/her personal need, with concentrate, grass, vitamins, proteins, fruits, carrots and hay. We ensure our horses stay healthy by grooming and bathing them several times a day. We also worm them and check for parasites on a very regular basis and a great veterinary collaborate with us and check and visit them more times during the year. We believe in the natural horsemanship and the love way.
We have 16 RESCUED HORSES and we do all the possible efforts to offer them a better life. Our horses are between 4 and 20years old. The oldest one and the babies with the worst past, are retired in our farm in the mountain side, where Jimmy and Oriana provide all the care they needs with all the possible love. Our horses are Criollo, Ibero, Quarter Horse, Quarab, Appaloosa breed. They are all very nice, sweet horses suitable for beginners, kids and also professionals riders. Because we care about horses well being, we have to set up the weight limit that is different for every horse. The general limit weight is 210lbs/100Kg.
All our saddles are imported from Europe and US, all in synthetic material that is lighter for the horses, respect the animals and also have a better durability in this difficult rain forrest weather.
We like to share our work with the local people and involve them in our activity, we hope to be able to transfer the love and respect for the horses to everyone.
We work hand in hand with the majority of the local hotels and tour operator, and we were able to build a great reputation from the quality of the service we offer and the visible love and care we have for the horses.
