Equine Experiences in Puerto Rico

Discover the Magic of Horses in the Caribbean

Did you know that we offer a lot more than just rescuing, rehabilitating, retraining, and finding adoptive homes for horses? Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare (CTA) is a vibrant equine center and sanctuary where people of all ages can experience the joy of connecting with horses — whether through riding, learning, volunteering, or simply spending time with these majestic animals.

When you join one of our equine experiences, you’re not just making memories — you’re helping to support the rehabilitation and lifelong care of retired racehorses in Puerto Rico.

Riding Lessons & Equine Academy

Whether you’re saddling up for the first time or polishing your riding skills, our riding school offers:

Beginner to advanced lessons in English riding
Equine Academy programs covering horsemanship, grooming, and horse care
Private and group lessons available year-round
Safe, friendly instruction for children, adults, and visitors
Our experienced instructors create a supportive learning environment that builds confidence and fosters a true partnership between horse and rides.

Pony Rides & Non-Riding Horse Encounters

We offer:

Pony rides for kids in a safe, supervised setting
Non-riding horse experiences where guests can meet, groom, and lead a horse

All EAL programs are facilitated by trained professionals in a calm, natural environment — no riding experience required.
