This is
the location of our new therapeutic horseback riding program in Monterrey, San Carlos, Costa Rica.
Vinculo con Caballo is located at Leaves and Lizards Arenal Volcano Cabin Retreat . Leaves and Lizards is a small B&B located in the mountains above the popular tourist town of La Fortuna below the active
Volcano Arenal.
We are making progress towards getting Vinculo con Caballo up and running. We are working closely with the Ministry of Health
for the San Carlos region to get the proper permits needed to start the operation. Texas A&M University has given us a
grant to there Therapeutic Horseback Riding course on line to better prepare and provide excellent service to the people
in our community that will benefit from our program.
The old barn we will be using as the
area is cleaned out and we will put 5 inches of sand on the floor. We have located helmets for the riders and already have
a group of gentle horses participants will be riding. Locals in the community have offered to volunteer and are also eager
for the program to start.
We plan to start small moving the program in the direction needed
to provide the best therapy for participants. We will individualize therapy for each rider.
