A shallow wind lifts the spray as hooves mark a narrow path between coastal scrub and sugarcane stubble. You mount quietly, guided by an experienced handler, and the horse sets a steady rhythm that matches the slow drum of surf on powder sand. In less than an hour you’ll cross scrubby limestone, skirt a small mangrove fringe and finish by cooling the horse in the warm Caribbean surf — water tugging at the animals’ flanks, sun flattening the distant hills.
