Cross Country International Invites Equestrians to Meet “Singles in the Saddle”

Millbrook, NY—April 13, 2004—Cross Country International (CCI) is making it easier and more economical for the nearly 40 million Americans who travel solo each year.
In an attempt to make travel more affordable for single men and women, we work with "singles friendly" tour, and resort suppliers. With single travel on the rise, CCI has created a variety of customized equestrian vacations, which cater to single travelers both in experience and price.

The four “Singles in the Saddle” packages, which are priced specifically for single travelers, allow single travelers to pair their love of riding with the opportunity to meet other individuals who share their interests, set against the backdrop of a variety of spectacular destinations. Participants in the singles rides will share a passion for horses, a longing for adventure and a desire to meet new people.

Costa Rica Beach Ride: May 30-June 4. Guests on the Costa Rica vacation will stay at beachfront hotels on the Pacific Ocean and enjoy rides alongside the Guanancaste region’s pink beaches and tropical rain forests. Along the way, riders will have the opportunity to see a variety of tropical wildlife, swim with their horses in the water of Playa Negra, one of Costa Rica’s best surf breaks and enjoy “pura vida” parties each evening. The Costa Rica Singles in the Saddle vacation is available for $1,395 and includes five nights hotel accommodation, all meals, three days of riding and hiking, biking and sight seeing. Volcano and canopy tours are also available at an additional cost.
