The ride begins before you reach the river: a low sun paints the pastures gold and the horses clip a steady rhythm through farms that slope toward the sea. Guides pair riders to mounts suited to experience level, and after a shoreline gallop the ocean cools the horses’ legs while the warm Caribbean breeze pushes you forward.
