The sun leans west and the ranch trail smells of salt and cut grass as riders mount up beneath a coral sky. Guides brief the group, tighten helmets, and send hooves toward a ribbon of trail that threads tropical forest, open pasture, and finally the surf-splashed sand of Macao Beach. The rhythm of the horses matches the tide’s pulse; the sea seems to pull you forward for a last light swim.
