The surf punctuates the morning as riders mount at a low dune edge and the Pacific spray dares them forward; horses pick their way between wind-scoured sands and scrubby desert, hooves sending up salt-bright dust. Before the ride, guests circulate through a small animal sanctuary where a giant tortoise moves with deliberate curiosity and macaws squawk like weather announcements—an intimate lead-in that sets a lighter pace.
