A transformational 6-night, 7-day luxury retreat designed for those seeking a deeper connection with horses, nature, and themselves.
Set in the lush landscapes of Costa Rica, this exclusive small-group experience blends mindful riding, classical dressage principles, yoga, nature immersion, and authentic Costa Rican hospitality.
Through Embodied Horsemanship, guests are invited to experience the horse as a partner — developing awareness, balance, trust, and communication through meaningful connection rather than simply riding.
Hosted in a private luxury hacienda setting with a maximum of six guests, this retreat offers an intimate journey of presence, movement, and connection surrounded by the beauty of Costa Rica.
Step into an extraordinary retreat where classical horsemanship, daily yoga, and the breathtaking beauty of Costa Rica come together to create a deeply transformative experience.
Designed for just six guests, this intimate retreat offers the rare opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the unique bond between horse and human. Ride each day through pristine beaches, lush jungle trails, winding rivers, and breathtaking landscapes while discovering the principles of classical riding, mindfulness, and harmony with the horse.
Beyond the saddle, nourish your body with fresh, locally inspired Costa Rican cuisine, seasonal tropical fruits, and daily yoga sessions that cultivate strength, balance, and inner peace. Spend meaningful time with our established herd, observing their natural relationships and learning from their authentic social dynamics—an experience few equestrian retreats can offer.
Your stay is set in a stunning luxury mountain ranch with spectacular panoramic views, creating the perfect sanctuary for rest and renewal. During the week, you’ll also explore some of Costa Rica’s most iconic destinations, from secluded beaches and scenic hiking trails to optional visits to the world-famous Manuel Antonio National Park or the vibrant town of Jacó.
This is far more than a vacation. It is a carefully curated experience of luxury, nature, connection, and personal transformation. Every detail has been designed to help you return home feeling grounded, inspired, and profoundly connected—to yourself, to the horses, and to the natural world.
Spaces are intentionally limited to six participants to ensure a truly personal and unforgettable experience.
At the heart of this retreat is our philosophy of Embodied Horsemanship—a unique approach that weaves together the timeless principles of yoga and classical horsemanship.
Through conscious breathing, balanced posture, mindful movement, and present-moment awareness, you’ll discover how your own body becomes your most important aid. As you become more centered and connected, your horse naturally responds with greater trust, softness, and harmony.
Every yoga practice, every grooming session, and every ride is thoughtfully designed to help you cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself, your horse, and the natural world. Whether riding through mountain trails or along Costa Rica’s breathtaking Pacific beaches, you’ll learn to move with intention, communicate with clarity, and experience the profound connection that emerges when horse and rider are truly in balance.
Embodied Horsemanship is more than a riding technique—it’s a way of being.
I’m Sylwia, a Costa Rican-Polish equestrian whose life has always revolved around horses. I’ve been riding since childhood and have owned and managed my own barn for more than 11 years.
Over the years, I’ve explored many disciplines, from show jumping to natural horsemanship. Today, my greatest passion is classical dressage, where every movement is guided by biomechanics, harmony, and the horse’s well-being. I believe true horsemanship is about creating a partnership built on trust, balance, and respect.
At CR Beach Barn, I continue to study and refine my riding, always seeking new knowledge and better ways to communicate with horses. I’m endlessly curious—a true horse enthusiast—and I’m dedicated to providing experiences that prioritize exceptional horse care while helping others discover the joy of mindful riding.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Costa Rica and share not only its breathtaking landscapes but also the incredible horses that make this retreat so special.
