Days 2, 3, 4
Playing with Horses
-Enjoy a home-cooked breakfast each day at the hotel as the horses munch on their grain across the way

-Saddle up for a ride on a stunning farm or to the local viewpoint or even up to the Nicaragua border, meandering through dry forest trails or splashing along the white sand beaches

-Take the tack off so the horses can roll and enjoy the sand, and invite them into the surf for a refreshing splash

-Jump on bareback and feel the sensation of a horse swimming or paddle along side them as they show off their skills

- Retreat to the shade for a delicious cooked lunch, as the horses take a nap in the sand

-Hang out with your horse in the hammock or take a wander along the beach to spot the birds or monkeys

- Saddle up to ride home along the beach, hose off your horse (if you want to) and go for a dip in the pool before dinner at the hotel, or hang out together for a moonlit BBQ on the beach

- Enjoy a deep, restorative sleep to the rainforest soundtrack of cicadas after all the fresh air, abundant nature, good food and food for the senses

I've been to this retreat three times now, and each time has been transformative in ways I didn't expect. The setting is absolutely beautiful, peaceful and relaxing in a way that you can actually feel from the moment you arrive. The people who run the retreat are warm, thoughtful, and genuinely care about creating a meaningful experience for everyone there. But what really makes this retreat special is the work with the horses. I thought I'd learn a little about myself and have some nice moments with these incredible animals, but what actually happened went so much deeper than I imagined. The horses have this way of helping you see things about yourself. Things you didn't even realize were there. It's hard to explain without sounding overly spiritual, but they guide you toward insights that feel profound and surprisingly personal. The whole experience feels safe and supportive, which I think is why I keep coming back. There's this rare feeling of being in a place where I actually belong, where I can work through whatever comes up without feeling judged or out of place. I love everything about this retreat. Every time I go, I have an amazing experience and leave feeling like something important has shifted in me. And every time I leave, I'm already thinking about when I can go back!
