Gallop a horse along a beach
50 Things to do before you die
If this is your horse's first visit, he may be a little anxious about-the
strange surroundings, even if he is a seasoned show horse. It is better to
acclimate him first by riding on the beach away from the water.
Once your horse has adapted to the beach
runs and is actually enjoying this different type of trail ride, introduce him
to the water. Leg yield him closer and closer to the shoreline, and let him feel
the hard-packed sand at a walk and gallop.
Some horses welcome the cool water and will swim in over their heads, especially
if they have had experience swimming in ponds at home.
Due to the physical stress, this ride isn't recommended for older horses or
those who show fatigue at home with heavy work.
