Authentic horseback riding in beautiful La Mision
Overview
A Boutique, Private Experience in the Heart of Baja
At Horses by Jose we focus on private and small-group adventures. We believe the best way to experience the magic of Playa La Mision is with a personalized touch, not a crowd.
What Truly Sets Horses by Jose Apart:
The "Personal Paparazzi": Stay in the moment while our guides capture high-quality photos and videos of your ride—included for free—and AirDrop them to you back at the ranch.
Vaquero Freedom: Unlike restricted tours, we offer the chance to trot, canter, or gallop for those comfortable in the saddle.
World-Class Horse Care: You will ride a fit, happy, and well-trained horse cared for with the highest standards in the region.
The Animal Sanctuary: Meet our friendly ranch dogs, goats, turkey, and Taquito the donkey.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll experience genuine Mexican hospitality and a ride tailored specifically to your experience level. We don't just offer a tour; we offer a memory that lasts a lifetime.
