“Weekend at the Barking Horse Farm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2012 NEW

My Friend and I spent a great weekend at the Barking Horse Farm in May 2012. We thoroughly enjoyed the hours of trail riding that we did in the surroundings of Puriscal. Liz took us over beautiful trails through fields and rivers. We visited a "trapiche", where they process sugar cane. Half way we had lunch in the center of... More

“Parelli Trek March 2012”

This was a great trip, and a very wonderful week with my daughter. All of the people at Barking Horse Farm, and the farms along the trek, are warm and gracious and generous. This is not a trip for those who demand 4-star accommodations, but it is one that allows you the opportunity to meet a few incredible people that... More

“January CR trek”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

I thoroughly enjoyed my trek with you all. The horses have great work ethics! The food was very good, considering reliance on others to prepare it. My only wish was that the whole group be on the same level of horsemanship. Granted, you have to rely on the riders to be truthful when making their plans. If we'd had the... More

As I have a horse and am student of Parelli, I was drawn to this trek, being familiar with Parelli 4* instructor Nita Jo Rush. Liz and Brenda have great compassion for their horses and work very hard to make sure riders will be ready... More

“Go where no tourists go on horseback, an unique adventure with amazing people.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2012

Liz Hawkins delivers a unique, up close and personal trek through Costa Rica experienced on solid, well cared for trail horses. Nice long days in the saddle take you to remote areas of Costa Rica where you are introduced to, and immersed in, the local culture. Riding takes you through mountains, rainforests, towns, farms, all the way to the beach.... More
