    Experience the heart of rural Costa Rica on our tranquil working horse farm. Wake up to the sounds of nature, care for our 10 kind-hearted horses, and deepen your connection with them through Natural Horsemanship. It’s a place to slow down, breathe, and rediscover the joy of simple, authentic living.

    Hi! I’m looking for someone experienced in Natural Horsemanship to join me on my beautiful working horse farm in the Costa Rican countryside. We have 10 amazing horses, each with their own personality and story.

    Your days will include:

    Working with two horses a day to help them stay fit, balanced, and connected

    Feeding and cleaning the barn (the horses are only in for meals, so it’s light work)

    Helping guests and renters with the horses when they’d like to ride or learn


    If you’re passionate about horses, nature, and meaningful hands-on work, this is a wonderful place to grow your skills and experience authentic Costa Rican farm life.

    If interested, please share:

    The style of horsemanship you follow

    What else ...

    I taught natural horsemanship here for 20 years (until last November). My forever horses need to stay fit to be available for cottage and cabin guests to ride or work with.
