The best riding in Paradise

Beyond Your Dreams. Within Your Reach... 

Costa Rica Equestrian Experience ...Casagua Horses & the Painted Pony Guest Ranch

...makes it's home on Finca Casagua, located minutes from the most beautiful Pacific beaches of Guanacaste.  The ranch, a green oasis of lush pastures, is home to our famous Spanish horses, giant tropical trees and colorful gardens with an array of birds and howler monkey in the trees.

Communication with horses

Offering private classes and small clinics, Santiago prefers private classes personalized to the levels and goals of the rider, matched to the level of the horse. Whether on your own horse, or one from our  ranch, he will help you become a better, more confident rider and partner with your horse using Centered Riding Techniques. Too many riders jump into a riding discipline without acquiring the solid foundations needed to become the best rider they can be. From ground work to in the saddle work,  ring work to trail riding, the connection between horse and riders is a must. The rider must be a leader in the world of horses to develop a relationship, a bond, that creates a real equine experience. Recently, he expanded his Centered Riding  and Focused Riding techniques in Jerez, Spain.
