The session begins beneath a canopy of wild olive and maritime pines a few meters from Mangueta Beach, salt on the air and the Atlantic wind nudging the trees. Horses graze and shift like slow tides; their ears flick and their breath marks the rhythm of the place. You stand on soft sand and shaded soil, watching herd dynamics play out as guides invite attention inward.
