The sound of hooves on packed sand leads you out of a sun-warmed yard and into a landscape where cane fields give way to swells of coastal scrub and the sea opens like a bright promise. Riders fall into the steady cadence of a gentle horse, the guide calling directions in a warm, practiced rhythm, until the dunes drop away and the Caribbean laps at the animals’ flanks.

History
The north coast around Montego Bay was a center of sugar production; many coastal tracks follow former plantation roads and cross lands that were once cane fields.
