Saddle up: El Kabayo opens in Nasugbu

You no longer have to head all the way to Baguio or Tagaytay to get your horseback riding fix, El Kabayo has officially opened in Batangas with its newest branch in Arillo, Nasugbu.

Opening its doors just in time for the holidays this Friday, Dec. 19, the leisure spot offers horseback riding sessions for guests of all ages, featuring a scenic view of the highlands of Batangas.

According to owner Gabby La O, the goal is to make horseback riding more accessible while maintaining safety and animal welfare.

What to expect

For those new to horseback riding, Guided Leisure Rides at El Kabayo offer a calm experience with the support of trained staff.

Meanwhile, seasoned riders can bring their own horses and explore the trail at their own pace, with stabling support available upon coordination with the El Kabayo team.

Helmets and riding equipment are provided, and each ride will be supervised to ensure comfort and security for both riders and horses.

“Our horses are the heart of what we do. Guests can expect well-trained, gentle horses and a team that values their welfare as much as the experience itself," La O added.

Prices start at P1,000 for a 15-minute guided ride.

El Kabayo is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Last ride call will be at 4:30 p.m. It is located at Arillo Estate, Tagaytay-Nasugbu Highway.
