About this trip

Feel the Flow – A Retreat for Horse Lovers, Nature Seekers & Soul Explorers


Step into a week of connection, clarity, and calm.

Join us for a unique and carefully designed retreat that brings together the transformative power of natural horsemanship, yoga, and the deep stillness of nature. Set on our cozy mountain farm, this experience is more than a getaway — it’s a journey to reconnect with horses, with the earth, and most importantly, with yourself.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga to Strengthen Body and Mind

Each day begins with a cup of fresh herbal tea from our garden and a guided yoga class held by a professional and intuitive yogi. Whether you’re new to yoga or experienced, these classes will help you find strength, flow, and balance — both physical and mental. Practice presence, breathe deeply, and ground yourself in the moment.

🐎 Natural Horsemanship for Deep Connection

After a hearty breakfast with fresh, local ingredients, you’ll step into the world of Natural Horsemanship. Through groundwork and riding sessions, you’ll learn to communicate clearly and gently, using body language, focus, and breath. This method develops not only your horsemanship but also your confidence, body awareness, and leadership from within.

It’s not about control — it’s about partnership, trust, and subtle communication. Horses reflect who we are in the moment, and working with them in this way becomes a profound journey of self-discovery.

🌿 Nature, Nourishment, and Meaningful Moments

After your horse session, spend time with the herd on our stunning mountain pasture, rest in a hammock, or simply breathe in the peace of the surrounding jungle. In the afternoons, we offer a variety of local activities: a visit to luxury hot springs, guided nature walks, or cultural experiences that connect you with Costa Rica’s vibrant life.

Evenings end with a healthy, delicious dinner and the soothing sounds of the jungle under the stars.

💛 Optional & Flexible

This retreat is suitable for riders of all levels and can also be booked without yoga for those who prefer to focus solely on the horsemanship experience.

We invite you to take a break from the rush, listen inward, and return home grounded, refreshed, and inspired — all in the company of kind horses, warm-hearted people, and the beauty of nature.

Horse Connection & Liberty

Horse Connection & Liberty Training


Learn the Language of the Horse – with Heart, Patience, and Play

Step into a space where horses become your teachers, mirrors, and trusted partners.

Gift yourself the time to truly immerse in the world of horses alongside Isa, a passionate horsewoman, and her carefully trained herd at Finca Soley. This retreat focuses on building a deep connection through body language, breath, intention, and energy — the natural way horses communicate.

🐴 A Journey of Trust and Connection

You’ll be partnered with your own equine companion for the week, and together you’ll explore what it means to create a bond based on trust, clarity, and friendship. Through groundwork, liberty play, and riding — often without reins or even a bridle (for experienced riders) — you’ll discover how to lead with softness, strengthen your timing, and develop true partnership.

Whether you dream of your first close horse experience or are already a horse owner seeking new inspiration, this retreat meets you where you are and guides you further — always with care and one-on-one attention.

Freedom, Play & Liberty Work

Dive into the magic of liberty training, where ropes fall away and only your presence and energy matter. Test your creativity, fine-tune your feel, and experience the beauty of moving together with a horse as one — without force or pressure.

🌿 Nature, Culture & Individual Attention

Outside of your horse sessions, enjoy the peaceful beauty of Finca Soley and explore the region on included cultural and nature tours. Relax in nearby natural hot springs, hike through mountain trails, and visit local gems in the area.


At Finca Soley, each program is individually tailored to your needs and wishes. We keep our guest numbers small to ensure personal guidance and a truly meaningful experience.

Educational horse vacation on organic horse farm in beautiful mountain setting.

Reviews

Excellent! Finca Soley was one of the most wonderful trips I have ever had! I want to start arranging to go back asap! Very comfortable sleeping arrangements, beautiful healthy horses, top-notch yoga, great excursions to an on-site waterfall, medicine and edible garden, hot springs, river bathing and hiking, milking a cow. Daily horse communication theory classes and horseback riding training sessions, and 3 farm-to-table meals a day. I can't wait to go back!
By Janet R for Classical Horsemanship & Yoga Retreat (Tripaneer) on May 05, 2025
The most amazing remote experience to reconnect with horses and learn new techniques of natural horsemanship. Isa is a great horse whisperer and teacher and her horses are all gentle and happy. The yoga taught by Annalea was excellent every morning, the food was fresh and delicious, the 15 acres of beautiful farm felt like home. The dawn chorus of bird species was a joy and the other solo travelers I met were awesome! I was lucky enough to see 6 toucans , an armadillo, a tayra, numerous types of hummingbirds, raptors. Bring binoculars and a bird species book!! Hot mineral springs was a big highlight too!!! Will be going back. I'm back addicted to riding again!

Exactly what I needed and beyond expectations. This is not a luxury holiday in terms of high end fancy but is perfect for those looking for an authentic restorative low-key time away. Great communication and hospitality from beginning to end. While wifi is available, I used this as an opportunity to fully disconnect and appreciate being present in quiet time reading and listening the sounds of birds and farm animals and conversations with hosts and small number of other guests in addition to the scheduled morning yoga and riding lessons and two excursions (hot springs and a chocolate tasting tour). Delicious meals (vegetarian with fresh everything and good seasoning), friendly and knowledgeable hosts, delightful fellow guests, and selecting the package option meant I had everything I needed. Just the yoga or the riding lessons would have been amazing and having the two together was perfection.

I had 9 fantastic days being a Volunteer at Finca Soley. The food was amazing and really fresh including homemade butter, cheese, eggs from their own chickens and chicken meat from the neighbors. I learned a lot about horses behaviors and their needs. In the time span that I had been there were no people my age (18) at the Finca but it was fine because I met some very lovely people to spend the free time in the cozy hammocks with. In exchange for more riding lessons I cleaned the 9 stalls, washed some horses and cleaned the dishes every evening for the guests which was a really good offer to me since I was the only one that didn’t book the Retreat Yoga-Programm and otherwise could not have taken part in a lot of activities. At the last day I was the only one left at the Finca and the family took me to their family trip to a circus nearby which was really nice and definitely a very caring and nice gesture. All in all, I would like to say thank you for this amazing experience and greetings from Germany to the whole family.
