Morning light spreads across the shore and the sea breathes salt into the air as riders mount gentle, trained horses for a one-hour circuit along Gili Air's coastline. The ride moves at an even pace—walks and short trots—so the focus stays on horizon lines: coral-strewn shallows, scattered palm trunks, and a steady wind that nudges the horse forward.
