When you dream of a place that you want to visit and anticipate it for years, its quite difficult to meet your full expectations. But Chris and Andrea did that for me when we booked our Parelli in Paradise vacation with them. Years ago I fell in love with Costa Rica and hoped to return one day, and when I... More

I was lucky enough to experience an entire vacation with Discovery Horse Tours. You can be too if you sign up for one of their amazing Parelli in Paradise clinics. This particular clinic was given by the lovely and talented Alejandra Gonzales. She is an extremely talented Parelli instructor and dressage rider who grew up in and lives in Costa... More

I had seen photos of horse riding on the beach in Esterillos Este before leaving for Costa Rica, and I was determined to go. I thought it would be good - but I had no idea it would be so wonderful. For a start Julia was very welcoming and easy to be with. She matched me and my friend to... More

I've been going to CR for nearly 10 years and this was one of the best things I have done! Chris and our guide Julia were both great and very informative. The ride is so interesting, with all of the wildlife you see as well as the beauty of the jungle and all it has to offer...we ate berries that... More

It's easy to see why this is the #1 attraction in Jaco. We have a vacation home here, and this is something we will be happy to do over and over with friends when they come on vacation with us! We saw monkeys, lizards, cool birds, and a couple of blue morpho's. It was evident that the horses are very... More

I am SO glad we booked this tour! From the moment we met Chris and Julia, we knew we were in great company! We were new to horse back riding and they calmed my nerves and were with us 100% of the way. We did the jungle spa tour. We saw monkeys and macaws, and rode through the farm, countryside... More

Thank you so very much, Chris and Andrea! But mostly to Juliet!! What a beautiful bunch of happy, well taken care of horses. Thank you for allowing me to be on a horse away from home. I missed my three and your herd did wonders for my soul. Extremely well behaved yet spunky was your sweet Velvet. The day was... More

I echo the praises for this tour, the guides, and the horses. From the first enthusiastic greeting to the final farewell, our guides shared their obvious love for the land, the culture, the earth-friendly farming techniques, the horses and the beauty of the rain forest. The volcanic "spa" mud pack was a refreshing bonus. Chris offered to take lots of... More

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this wonderful experience? We met Chris, but unfortunately did not have a chance to meet his wife. He was full of great life stories and jungle intel, and a true horse whisperer. Julia led us through the tour and took us on a path less traveled, which is always neat.... More
