Galloping along a sandy shore with the sound of hoofbeats and foamy waves crashing on the surf is a dream for most equestrians.
Planning a Beach Trip with Your Horse
Before you load up your horse and head to the nearest beach, do your research. Not all beaches allow horses, and some have limited or seasonal hours.
The First Visit
Horses are flight animals. It’s a natural reaction to try and flee when they see a large wave approaching them. The time of year, weather, and low or high tide can impact the size of the waves, so check local tide charts.
Keep It Fun & Safe
Horseback riding is always better with friends, and it’s great to bring along some dependable, calm equine role models.
