Activities

The Horse Experience

 

Recommended for beginners of all ages.

Connect with horses by being around them, touching them and talking with them.

We will walk among the horses in their pastures, free horses in a herd.  

You will then be given a horse to care for, feed and brush. You will learn to handle and walk with your horse.

After ground instructions you will improve your balance and learn our riding techniques. First bareback in the training ring and, if time allows, in the saddle by yourself around the warm up track under the supervision of Samuel and his team.

1200 pesos per person.

 

Connected Riding Lessons

 

Lessons will be adapted to your level.
Connected riding is the ability to adjust your body to the rhythm of the horse.
The objective is for you to learn to communicate with horses naturally, to establish a collaborative relationship with them to enhance your riding experience.
To establish this natural communication it is important to:
• Understand the horse
• Gain its trust and respect
• Understand the most appropriate        technique to reach each horse
• Be conscious of your body language
Learn to regulate your energy with      your breathing
• Knowing the most advantageous         position for riding


Stephanie will share with you her skills in horse communication and riding method.
 
Cost:
. 400 pesos per person, per hour in a group from 3 to 4
. 500 pesos per hour for private instruction up to 2

Food

Hungry

 

Purchase your food in San Cristobal de las Casas and prepare it in your own kitchen.

 

There are no grocery stores near the ranch, only a local tienda with snacks. The village of Betania, is the closest place where you will find basic dry goods, fresh fruits and veggies, 7km of dirt road away, accessible by taxi. 

 

We recommend doing your shopping in San Cristobal de las Casas (30km away) where you will find all you can wish for - organic, whole food, bakeries, delicatessens, fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh markets and large super markets are available there and in Teopisca.

If you are coming straight from the airport of Tuxtla Gutierrez,

we offer a pick up (safe taxi) with a stop at a super market or a local market. 

 

We can also do your shopping ahead of your arrival, just give us a list.
