Being close to Tamarindo, you’ll have access to stunning beaches, a lively atmosphere, and plenty of activities. Whether you enjoy surfing, exploring local markets, or trying out the delicious cuisine, Tamarindo has something for everyone.
We focus on eventing so we train horses and are open for lessons. We’re proud to have two experienced trainers: one from Costa Rica and one from Chile. Their expertise and passion for equestrian sports make for an exciting and educational experience.
Meet the Team:
I’m Georgina, and I manage the day-to-day operations I oversee the farm, coordinate lessons, and ensure everything runs smoothly. I’m passionate about equine care and community engagement and am thrilled to share our beautiful setting with you.
