Arillo Estate, a 62-hectare eco-tourism development of Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) has become more attractive with the recent opening of El Kabayo in Nasugbu, Batangas, adding an outdoor leisure component to the developed estate along the Tagaytay–Nasugbu Highway.
El Kabayo began welcoming guests at its newest location in Arillo Estate on December 19, just in time for the holiday season. Known for its calm, scenic horseback riding experiences, the brand brings its signature offering to the highlands of Nasugbu, providing visitors with a nature-based activity set against the area’s open landscapes and cool mountain air.
Located within Arillo Estate, El Kabayo Nasugbu offers guided horseback rides designed for guests of all ages and riding levels. The experience is positioned as a relaxed outdoor escape, catering to families, couples, and travelers looking for an alternative leisure activity away from crowded destinations during peak travel periods.
Before becoming a growing leisure destination, the Nasugbu highlands served as a place where families spent time outdoors and enjoyed wide open spaces. El Kabayo aims to build on this tradition by introducing horseback riding as a shared activity for a new generation, within a setting that prioritizes safety, accessibility, and thoughtful management.
“We are excited to open our paddocks in Nasugbu and share a meaningful, nature-driven activity with guests this season,” said Gabby La O, owner of El Kabayo Nasugbu. “Our goal is to make horseback riding accessible, safe, and enjoyable for everyone, whether they are riding for the first time or returning to a familiar passion.”
El Kabayo in Arillo, Nasugbu offers activities suitable for both new and seasoned riders. Guided leisure rides led by trained staff are available for beginners and casual riders seeking a calm and scenic experience. More experienced riders may also bring their own horses and explore the trails using their own mounts, with stabling support available upon prior coordination with the El Kabayo team.
The facility emphasizes a welcoming environment, whether for guests trying horseback riding for the first time or those looking for a peaceful outdoor activity.
Safety remains a priority at El Kabayo Nasugbu, with all horses handled and trained by experienced staff. Riding helmets and equipment are provided, and all rides are guided or supervised to ensure the comfort and security of both riders and horses.
