Saddle Up for Horseback Riding in the Dominican Republic

Saddle up for guided horseback riding through the hills of Villa González. Our small-group rides match your pace and skill level with calm, well-trained horses and experienced wranglers focused on safety and comfort. Choose from routes across pastures and mountain viewpoints, add a quick lesson or photo session, and make it a day—or a weekend stay. Families, couples, and groups welcome; gentle instruction provided.

Horseback Trail Riding Safety Screening

Your safety is our number one priority. Before we head to the trail, every rider completes a brief safety screening and skills check. From there, we’ll match you with a horse based on your experience and how you connect during handling. For the best experience, we highly recommend an optional 1–2 hour “get to know your horse” session. You’ll pet, feed, bathe, and learn to saddle your horse, giving you the confidence to make your ride safe, comfortable, and fun.

1-on-1 Horseback Riding Lessons

Perfect for beginners and advanced riders, our instructors bring deep knowledge and clear, patient coaching to lessons tailored to your abilities and goals. We’ll work with you to build a flexible daily schedule that combines indoor activities with focused riding time.

Horseback Riding Tours

Walk Ride

Perfect for all levels, especially first-timers. This relaxed, slow-paced ride moves through wooded trails so you can take in the scenery while feeling comfortable and supported by our wranglers. It creates the perfect mix of horseback experience and nature exploration.

Intermediate Ride

Walking and trotting at a brisk, controlled pace. Ideal for riders with ~10 hours of recent saddle time who can steer, stop, and balance confidently at a faster stride.

Advanced Ride

Walking, trotting, and cantering on a lively, fast-paced route. Designed for experienced riders who maintain control without holding the saddle for balance and want a more athletic, exhilarating ride. Routes may include elevation changes and open stretches for sustained canters, adjusted to conditions and rider readiness.
