Private Horseback Riding at Rancho Baaxal in Punta Sam

Overview

Enjoy a private one-and-a-half-hour horseback ride at Rancho Baaxal, located in Punta Sam. This ranch prioritises animal welfare, welcoming horses that have often suffered from neglect or abuse. To ensure a safe and suitable experience, the ranch requires detailed information regarding the age, height, weight, and experience level of each rider to assign the most appropriate horse. The maximum weight allowed is 200 lb (91 kg), with a maximum BMI of 30. The activity includes the provision of riding helmets as well as refreshments, including bottled water, coffee, tea, snacks, and alcoholic beverages.

Activity itinerary

We offer two rides daily every day except for Sunday, at 9:30am and 2:00pm. Our rides last about 1.5 hours. Guests need to arrive 20 minutes prior to their scheduled ride and sign a waiver before riding. Helmets and mosquito repellent are provided. Horses are assigned based on each participant's personality, age, height, weight (weight limit is 200lbs/90kgs; BMI limit 30), and level of experience, and a briefing will be given to the riders. We ride through a mix of narrow jungle trails and some wider trails and often make a stop midway to show some interesting things (there are not two identical rides as we pay close attention to everybody's personal areas of interest, etc.). Very experienced riders will be able to do some trotting and cantering, conditions permitting. When we return to the ranch, our guests are welcome to enjoy complimentary beverages (a nice glass of chilled wine, an ice-cold beer, or non-alcoholic beverages), and light snacks, if they participate in our afternoon ride. Guests that choose our morning ride, will have coffee, tea or juice, and small pastries on the table to enjoy before getting up on horseback. Both time slots also include water during the ride.
