Not only were Blue an Jamie the nicest, funniest and most welcoming hosts I've ever encountered, but their horses were responsive, fit and dream mounts, their property was every cowgirl's dream and the ride itself was verging on magical. From the moment we were picked up to our toñas on the beach to the gallop in the ocean to the... More

Having rode for many years in Canada nothing prepared us for the amazing experience awaiting us at Rancho Chilamate. Blue and Jamie took us on an amazing morning hack, took some of the most gorgeous pictures possible and introduced us to their fairy tale life including an Enchanted Forest, Snow White singing birds, playful dogs and soul linking horses. We... More

All I can say is that this experience exceeded my expectations in every way, from the hospitality from the owners: Blue and Jaimie, their incredible home/ranch, the cool cowboy accessories to choose from, the well mannered horses, the cool trail with insights into the locals and their culture, incredible opportunity to ride as much and as fast as you want...

My wife and I have been travelling around South and Cental America for 6 months and this was honestly up there as one of the most fun experiences we had! From the moment Blue picked us up in town it was like catching up with an old friend. The same was true with Jamie when we met him back at... More

We went with Blue and Jamie for a morning ride a couple of weeks ago and could not have had a better time. The setting is beautiful and welcoming, the horses well behaved and trail and length of the ride perfect. We had the opportunity to run the horses on the beach to our hearts content and when asked for... More

It is definetly worth making the time to fit in this Horseriding trip. The owners Blue and Jeremy were the perfect hosts and took us on an amazing ride through the countryside. I would recommend this to everyone visiting San Juan del Sur. The photo's Blue gave us afterwards was an unexpected bonus and she really captured the most amazing... More

This horseback ride (and it is not just a ride) was a highlight of a great trip to Nicaragua. From the moment Blue picked us up in San Juan del Sur, it was like we were with an old friend catching up on all the latest news. Blue and Jamie welcomed us into their wonderful home with beautiful tropical grounds.... More

We just got back from our world cruise and both my wife and I agree that this was, by far, the most awesome experience of our world cruise. We were only in San Juan del Sur for the day, so Blue (Heather) came to pick us up at the pier in her pickup truck. She asked if we were OK... More

This is a must do for tourist that are in SJDS. I LOVED it from the moment we walked into the ranch. Ugh paradise on earth. They pair you up with one of their (very well trained) horses, they provide you with socks, boots and hats. Blue is an amazing photographer who took pictures of our group and the nigt... More

During our week-long Nicaraguan vacation, only one thing topped Rancho Chilamate. And that was getting married. So I’d say second place was a pretty strong finish. Bottom line: It could have been just a horseback ride. But Jamie and Blue provided touches that made our morning excursion chilled-out and fun — a few hours better spent than most. Their ranch...
