You step into the saddle and a warm trade wind pushes at your face as the trail threads from shaded village lanes to a mangrove tunnel that seems to pull the world quiet. Local guides point out black olive trees and the herbs that flavor jerk pork while the horses pick a steady rhythm; later, the surf dares you forward as guides swap saddles for water gear and the ocean invites a cooling swim.
