I had a fantastic experience with Luna Equine at their retreat. Karma and Selena are experienced horsewomen and excellent teachers. Their horses are exceptionally well taken care of and well trained and responsive to new riders. This retreat really does cater to riders of all abilities. Selena and Karma go over the day's agenda and will adjust it meet rider's abilities and preferences.
They offer a variety of experiences, including arena work to improve one's groundwork with the horse. Rides vary from beach to jungle trail to helping move cattle through grasslands on a working ranch. The 2 "ranch days" include a chance to milk a cow, a walk to and swim at a waterfall, and wonderful homecooked Costa Rican lunches. There is also free time to go out and relax with a drink and enjoy the beautiful sunsets on the beach, and some Costa Rican nightlife, at nearby restaurants. The accommodations were very comfortable, too. It was a wonderful Costa Rican vacation and riding retreat and I hope to go back sometime soon.
