I’d so love to ride at the ocean. I just wonder if I could get Bay near it. :~)
Not unless you got a whole lot more forceful with him than you usually are around boogers.
I have a hard time getting mine to walk out into the river or lake, where they can see the other side and with mostly LITTLE waves, so I can just imagine how they'd react to BIG waves with nothing beyond them. I'd imagine that Bay's reaction to them would be orders of magnitude greater than that, just because of his A-rab-ness. But you never know. You'll just have to take him sometime and see what he does. If he freaks out, you can either take him home, or stay there the rest of the day and work with him.
WHen we have been by big bodies of water either lakes or rivers with boats that caused waves even our horses hesitated some at the lapping of the water, but after some "patient" promting they finally would go in.
