Horse riders on the beach at sunrise
It was a Bucket List moment:   Taking our own horses on a beach holiday and riding them on a beautiful beach.
 
…… as anyone who travels with horses knows: there is nothing better than to arrive after a long drive and relax once the horses are settled. 
Sea Horse made this important part of the journey very easy, as it is such a beautiful and well set-up place…….
 
We stayed a week and had a ball! We rode every day (beach riding is addictive!!) and made lifelong memories. Our favourite was our sunrise ride, – a 5am wake-up well worth it! The beach is beautiful, locals are very friendly and horse savvy and the shops unassuming but very welcoming and serve a mean egg & bacon roll and good coffee.
 
We will be back for more for sure!! Can’t wait!!! 🙂🐎🌅🌊🐕
