You step off the shaded path and the Atlantic opens: a narrow ribbon of white sand, waves daring you forward, and horses stamping patiently at the tide line. The first half-hour moves along palm-fringed beach and low dunes, the second takes you waist-deep into warm Caribbean water where mounts pick their footing and riders feel the surge of the current under hoof.
