Our farm has lots to offer.
We live humbly and work hard to maintain our little slice of paradise. Take in the mountain views, cool off in the pool, and spend some time with the farm animals that make up our family at Establo San Rafael, especially our family of horses.
We hope you love our farm, horses, and other critters as much as we do! In addition to being your Home Sweet Home, Establo San Rafael is truly a horse lover’s paradise. We can’t wait to share it with you.
Costa Rica has been home since 2004, but my love of horses goes back much farther than that.
I was first introduced to the philosophy of Monty Robert's natural horsemanship at Ben Marten Stables in California in 1974 at the age of 14 and competed in Western and English pleasure. Later, I went on to classical dressage, show jumping, and eventing. I have owned and shown horses throughout my life, and have been employed at various show barns throughout the United States, training horses and coaching students.
I was reintroduced to natural horsemanship in 2008 when I hosted my first Parelli seminar with David Lichman here at Establo San Rafael. Since then I have studied natural horsemanship, hosted many Parelli seminars, and incorporated natural horsemanship techniques into all of my teachings. I am now ending my natural horsemanship student program. My family of horses will need plenty of love and attention in the coming years. As a renter, you will be able to work - play with the horses with my guidance, and then on your own.
