We'd like to tell you that "Sabine's Smiling Horses" (in Santa Elena /
Monteverde) has moved several years ago to another place in Santa Elena - please
check the map on her
website When you're leaving Santa Elena southwards shortly after "Mundo de
los Insectos" you have to turn right and follow the yellow signs (with
"Sabine" written on them) then you'll reach her beautiful new place. You will
also find some of these signs in/around Santa Elena town. We really
recommend choosing Sabine and her "smiling horses" for a horseback-ride. It's 15
-$/hour e.g. you can go on a 3 5 hrs ride including a waterfall - great! Kind
regards Silk

Dear Lonely Planet Team I'm the owner of Sabine Smiling Horses a Horseback
Riding Farm in Monteverde/Costa Rica. We' re listed in your Costa Rica Travel
Guide since 5-6 years. We're very happy about this then we work a lot with
Lonely Planet readers and make them happy discovering our beautiful
surroundings. In the meantime a few details regarding our business changed and
we would like you to consider them in the next edition. Our phone numbers: 645
6894 or 385 2424. Our location in Town also changed. You can find us 2 km
south of Santa Elena (1 km south of the cemetery). Readers had problems
finding us as we're still listed with our old location in the map. Regarding our
Tours: The most popular ones are the waterfall full moon and the sunset ride.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please don't hesitate of contacting us for any
questions. Regards, Sabine Hein
