The well kept horses, quiet river, lush pastures, gentle breeze, ancient trees laden with bromeliads, flocks of parrots, flaming sunsets, delicious meals, friendly people, and exotic surroundings will speak peace into your soul. Activities - We will offer our guests an opportunity to participate in a hands on experience of interacting with horses. In the arena and round pen, communication between horse and rider begins to meld. Making it easy to do the right thing and difficult to do the wrong thing. These concepts, as presented by John Lyons and Pat Parelli, two of the most popular horse clinicians in the United States, are the basis for horsemanship at Banana Bank.
Key words are communication, trust and discipline.
A variety of activities include barrel racing, gymkhana events, overnight rides, Saturday to Saturday itineraries that may be flexible. While we mostly ride western, we also have two sets of English saddles and tack for your use. There are miles of jungle trails often times under the forest canopy. This combination provides sturdy but agile mounts necessary to negotiate river terrain and jungle trails. Equipment - 35 Western saddles with accessories to make the riding experience safe and comfortable.
