El Pinto Philosophy
At El Pinto expeditions, we strive to provide quality tours that will be a wonderful horse-riding and all round natural experience for everyone, no matter what their riding level or previous experience.
We hold the safety and enjoyment of our clients in equal high regard, while never compromising the well-being and safety of the horse. Riders are matched with the most suitable horse for them, to enhance all aspects for both rider and horse.
We believe that, as owners of working horses, we have an obligation to provide them with everything they need and deserve to stay healthy, happy and fit, including loving care. They are part of our family and we take their well-being seriously!
Marvin Uva - Owner/Guide
A native Costa Rican, Marvin has worked with horses, and other animals, since early childhood on the family farm and his horse-care experience has carried on from there, including years in Canada and the United States.
He has been guiding horseback tours for eight years in Costa Rica, and has earned an excellent reputation locally, both with his knowledge and care of horses, and his ability to manage group tours safely while still ensuring enjoyable outings.
He specialises in helping people with no or little experience (also those who have had a previous bad experience), learn how to enjoy the ride and how to develop a partnership with the horse. He is attentive to individual needs, no matter what level of rider you are.
His love and respect for horses is infectious, and part of what he brings to your tour, is not just the technicalities of riding, but the chance to begin to get to know and appreciate your horse and its’ individual character.
