After a nice siesta to relax on the terrace and observe the horses roaming around you will either keep learning in a theory class, head out on a trail ride, or enjoy a cultural tour to discover the beauty of the Turrialba region.
Natural Horsemanship
Aventura Doma Natural understand natural horsemanship as a holistic way of keeping and training with horses. They base their principles on love, understanding, and boundaries.
The relationship they have with their horses is free of judgment and includes a positive attitude, where the horse feels safe and valued. It is based on communication in which they will always first listen, understand, and then share their ideas. This relationship is also surrounded by boundaries that they set in order to be able to be safe and give the horse room to express himself.
Full Day Trail Ride
You will ride over the mountain and get down on the other side. You'll pass our little neighbour village and will stop for a midday lunch at the river that borders to "Oriente". It's time to cool down and take a swim. On your way back, you'll cross banana gardens and sugar fields and may see the workers harvesting.

She has been teaching Natural Horsemanship for several years. She teaches in English, German & Spanish.
