Horse Riding Vacations Costa Rica.

Discovery Horse Tours are internationally renowned for their love, care and passion for horses. Join us for a once in a lifetime vacation on our rescue horses that have been re schooled "naturally" using a combination of Natural Horsemanship and Clicker training. None of our horses are ridden using bits and all enjoy life barefoot, they are sure footed, responsive, fit and so much fun to ride.

Whether you want a week of unforgettable riding in the most bio diverse country in the world, or you want to combine riding with a clinic taught by some of the best Natural horsemanship instructors in the world, your time with us will be unforgettable. Ride along deserted beaches, go bareback in the ocean, head into the mountains and deep into the rain forest to secret waterfalls. Contact us with your dates and let us plan you the best week of your lives, at a very affordable price! A percentage of the cost of your week will be donated to the Pura Vida Horsemanship Fund
