The ride begins before the first hoof hits sand: sunlight fractures through palm fronds as a small ranch gathers riders, helmets clicked on and guides calling out gentle instructions. You move off in a loose caravan, horses picking their way over rough red tracks that wind past tropical gardens and low limestone ridges. The ocean is a steady presence ahead — a blue shoulder that grows louder as you approach Macao Beach.
