Such a good day!

I have a speedy horse!
We went to the beach today, with 5 of us in total, 3 horses and 2 ponies.
As soon as their feet hit the sand that was the heads up, prancing, sideways etc. etc., big lad just HAD to be at the front!
So, off we 'cantered', soon of course galloping, lolloping behind one of the ponies. One touch of the heels and wham! Cruising into the lead! So took a break at the other end of the beach, paddled (took a few minutes to stop!) out to our knees etc. etc., then I was very gracious (

) and let them all have a headstart.
Well...as We cruised past them I really felt the power beneath me! Nothing like galloping flat out down a beach with no-one in front of you!
So, we then decided enough galloping and went into the sea.
How do you know it's time to turn for home?
When your horse is shoulder deep and decides to start trotting out to sea!

So, what has everyone else done?
It was a glorious day over here, pink, orange sunset and really crisp!

Good on ya!

I know the feeling of riding on the beach flat out with no one around.

My best times are on the beach, that's the only hack I'm not scared of!

Sounds fab!!!! Haven't been to the beach in ages... will have to rectify that!

Sounds like a fab day!

I had an eye opening today with Joe too! Boy can he shift
He has some sort of built in sports suspension and just lowers by about 2 hands and goes like sh*t off a shovel!
We were following another big hunter and just left him for dust!

They do flatten don't they!
We have a video and it's empty beach, then me just flattened, then several strides back, grouped and then several more strides one of the ponies.

Fab feeling isn't it! Ash has never done that!
Mt friend said it looked in slow motion, his stride just got loner and longer but no quicker!
