So the swimming things was the coolest ever...well this was 2nd coolest ever.
This was our (Vikki & me) first trail ride off the farm. Pierre & his horse Enzo took us to Limantour Beach in Point Reyes National Park. I wasn't sure how Vikki would do trail riding off the farm more or less the ocean & crashing waves.
She was great! She was definitely curious but calm and not freaked out. The crashing waves & noise didn't scare her but she wasn't so sure about the water flowing towards her toes = ) She would try and dance away from the waves. I made her stand in a few but when the water flowed back out she'd walk sideways with the water. It was pretty funny to see and feel!
We galloped about a mile of beach (which tired poor Vikki out!), then walked out and back on the coastal trail, then galloped/walked the mile on the beach back to the trailer. By that time we had quite an audience of beach goers and they got a kick out of us. We had pictures taken of us, questions about the horses, and many horsey pettings. Vikki handled her celebrity status very well ; )
We untacked the horses and took them back to the beach to roll in the sand. The beach gave a collective Aaaaaaawww when the horses rolled. It was pretty funny!
No pictures because my trainer had a sick baby and couldn't come. Next time!
Sucks that I finally have horse buddies & trail riding partner that won't accept gas money!
