You start beneath a bright sky at a local polo club, saddle leather creaking as the horses move off into scrub and low jungle. The ride is steady—an easy-paced loop that opens onto wide views of the coastal plain, palms and wind-sculpted grasses brushing the stir of your shirt. The air smells of earth warmed by sun; the animals seem to guide the rhythm forward.
