1. Havana Horses
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 41 reviews
Havana Horses offers courses and lessons in natural horsemanship, including groundwork, liberty training and natural riding (dressage and jumping). We handle, train and ride our horses without the use of force, that is, without the use of whip, spurs or bit. Are you an absolute beginner and maybe a bit anxious around horses? Havana Horses offers you the quietness and the time to introduce you to these magnificent & powerful animals. Intermediate and advanced riders can experience the exhilaration of a horse wanting to be you in liberty work; the lightness and responsiveness of a willing horse when you ride. We teach classical dressage and jumping on a loose rein. After you have taken a number of lessons to get familiar with our natural style of riding, you can join us for an exciting trail ride out through the green woods surrounding us, enjoy amazing views from the rice fields, or experience how it is to be a jockey on the race track (only for advanced riders)!

I traveled alone from the UK to Indonesia and Anna tailored a 1 week package adapted to my wishes and skills. The scenery at Havana Horses is beautiful, wild and incredibly peaceful, the homemade food is 5 stars and there’s a natural swimming pool. The Iyengar yoga teacher is amazing, lessons last for 2 hours - a proper workout - and it’s a fun moment to share. I warmly advise to opt for the accommodation on site for an immersive experience. Anna and Havedz have been receiving guests for many years and they truly are dedicated hosts, as well as their two boys! They respect your privacy and you’re always welcome to join them in their day to day and family activities. They can organise the logistics for your days out - I visited the Gedong Songo temples which remains my favorite site. As for the horses… Natural Horsemanship is a totally different experience from traditional dressage and it feels so right! Not only will you learn about horse behavior and dressage without using dominance and strength but you will work on building your own confidence. Anna and Havedz have been incredibly attentive, supportive and patient and I loved the complementarity of their approach and teaching styles. The maximum of 4 riders per lesson allows you to get all the attention and guidance that you need. The passion Anna and Havedz have for all things horsemanship, their openness, kindness and lifestyle is infectious. After a stay with them, you will also have made two more friends and I guarantee you will want to revisit.
