HORSES
We give our horses a full range of beautiful green pastures. They have room to roll around and eat and sleep to their heart’s content, although they only sleep about 3 hours a day. You can come to our farm for lessons, rides, or just to experience the animals. We have beautiful rides, each for different skill levels. Our horses are ready for you to enjoy!
Historically horses were trained for warfare, farm work, sport and transportation. Today horses are trained in styles like Western and Equestrian. To train a horse requires respect from both sides and different horses have different temperaments.
Foaling is the practice of breeding and raising horses, a tradition that dates back to early times. We raise our foals on high quality grass in an open area where they have plenty of room to run, plenty of sun and fresh air, and the mares are very well cared for too.
Riding a horse is a fantastic activity that combines sport, recreation, and a close interaction with animals. Whether you’re wanting to learn the basics or you’re an experienced rider seeking new challenges, horse riding offers something for everyone.
Having a horse is expensive but worth every penny. Horses have a range of skills and personalities. They’re trusting and forgiving animals, and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with them. They can help you with simple tasks like carrying things long distances (including yourself!). They can also learn a variety of tricks, and with the proper training they make great friends.

4C Family Ranch is offering a series of classes for beginners to horse riding and ownership. The goal is more than just a trail ride where one horse follows another — these classes focus on learning and honing the basic skills that help riders build confidence with horses, gain their trust and respect, and enjoy the rewards that come with this relationship.

The Chucuyo waterfall is one of my favorite places, located in the Chirripó region of Pérez Zeledón. Its a wonderful journey to get there by horse, with relaxing scenery and a beautiful waterfall.

Chucuyo Waterfall gives us a good place to rest riders, check saddles and let the horses settle before we head over the ridge.

The goal of a young foal's first halter day here at 4C is to imprint trust and calm handling.
