Convince My Friend To Go Horseback Riding

It’s a horse and you sit on it

Hey friend! Do you like nature? Do you like the sound of birds? Do you find rocking chairs relaxing? If you answered yes to all of these things (you did, don’t lie), you’ll love horseback riding.

The horses bite food, not humans. They won’t kick you, stomp you, or hurt you. They don’t play soccer despite the four videos on YouTube that will lead you to believe they do. The horse you will ride is selectively bred to be ridden, like how a Golden Retriever plays fetch, or like an English Bulldog sleeps. They get super special treats after they do a trail, too, so they’re absolutely amped for you to ride them.

Seriously, you’re going to deny Casper a treat?

If you’ve never ridden a horse before, don’t worry, it’s like sitting at a desk except it has a relaxing sound associated with it. Keep an upright back, a smile on your face, and your horse will do the rest. You can point it in a certain direction if you want but you won’t need to because it’ll follow your guide.

At Rancho el Charro, you’re supporting a small family. You’re helping keep Pam’s dream alive. You’re putting money back into the local economy. You’re going to the local store instead of the big-box retailer. On top of this, you get the best of Puerto Vallarta, with the best-treated horses, in a part of Mexico you probably didn’t even know existed.

So come down to Rancho el Charro and ride a horse. You’ll love it.
