Riding, Wellness & Social Impact in Costa Rica
Connecting people, horses and nature from the heart of Alajuela
More than a riding academy, we are a movement for social transformation through horses
Galloping Grace & Associates is born from a deep conviction: the connection between horses and human beings has the power to heal, educate and transform entire communities.
Founded in Alajuela, Costa Rica, our organization integrates four fundamental pillars: an excellence riding academy, accessible equine therapy programs, immersive wellness retreats in nature, and an agroveterinary store that supports the local agricultural community.
Our team is led by passionate professionals: Jessica R. Stewart, CEO & Administrator; LucÃa Bonilla, Director of the Equestrian School; and Fernando Arbaiza, CTO & Marketing Director.
Every horse in our facilities is treated with the respect and care it deserves, and every person who visits us—whether a child in their first class, an adult in rehabilitation, or a tourist seeking disconnection—finds a safe space to grow.
An integral ecosystem where each pillar strengthens the others
Classes for all levels, from beginners to advanced riders, with certified instructors and horses trained with animal welfare techniques.
Horse-assisted therapy for children and adults with special needs, physical rehabilitation and emotional support.
Immersive experiences of yoga, meditation, conscious nutrition and connection with nature at our partner ranches.
Agroveterinary store with quality products and social programs that bring free riding to vulnerable communities.
Experiences designed to connect body, mind and nature
Our school offers a complete riding program covering from fundamentals to classical dressage. With professional tracks, equipped stables and a team of certified instructors.
Equine therapy uses the three-dimensional movement of the horse to stimulate the neurological system, improve balance and strengthen muscles. Our therapists work in collaboration with doctors and families.
Escape urban stress and reconnect with yourself in our weekend retreats. Sunrise yoga, guided meditation, organic food and walks through natural trails.
Our camps combine learning, fun and values. Children learn to ride, care for horses, explore nature and develop leadership and teamwork skills.

Testimonials from our community
My daughter has autism and since she started equine therapy at GGA, her communication and confidence have improved incredibly. The therapists are angels.
The wellness retreat was a transformative experience. Yoga at sunrise with the horses nearby, organic food and the warmth of the team. I will definitely be back.
As a local rancher, the AgroVet store has been a game changer. Quality products, fair prices and veterinary advice that has saved me more than once.
