WASHINGTON, Virginia, December 28, 2024 – There’s only one spot left to join riding instructor Wendy Murdoch of Horsing Around International and Amador Equestrian on an exclusive Costa Rican riding retreat February 22 – March 1, 2025! This luxury winter getaway over eight days and seven nights combines horses, yoga, and fine dining into an unforgettable experience.
Practice yoga every morning before heading to the stable for a riding lesson followed by a beach or jungle trail ride. There’s plenty of time for a dip in the private pool, a relaxing massage, and chef-prepared meals. On your free day, choose from a variety of activities such as ziplining, going on a nature hike, shopping, or just relaxing at the beach.
“Riding adventures stir the blood, inspire the imagination, and expand your horizons,” says Wendy Murdoch. “They challenge you in unimaginable ways and leave you with memories that last a lifetime. If you’re looking for an equestrian holiday that combines your love of horses, nature, and adventure, you’re in the right place!”

I’m not sure which I liked better, lessons with Wendy in the arena or exploring the countryside on horseback. We rode on the beach, along the river, through the jungle, up the mountain, down the dry river bed, and through the community.
The pace was gentle so we could take in the sights and sounds, see the occasional monkey in the trees, and just relax. The horses were well-cared for and knew how to navigate the terrain.
“I’ve done this trip twice and would welcome the chance to do it again. What better escape from winter weather than a week with horses in sunny Nosara!
