My friends horse did this years ago bolted into the sea and swam quite far out. Luckily she hit a sandbank and turned around, apparently horses can only swim straight lines and cannot turn. Helicopters, coastguards where there. she kept on disappearing beneath the waves. My friend thought she was dead!!!! She has not been the beach since
