The sun lifts off the Caribbean horizon and lights the paddocks at Hacienda Campo Rico, where Paso Fino horses stand patient and sure-footed, manes flicking in the warm breeze. Riders mount beside a hilltop mojito bar and, with a nudge from an experienced guide, move out across lagoons, through tropical scrub and up ridgelines that open toward coastal plains and distant ocean glitter.
