Think I need to get back to my mowing?
Yeah, and those horses were raised near the beach too! ;o) I've ridden horses on the beach when we were on vacation and it was really cool. We were on a dive trip to St. Anthony's Key, off the cost of Honduras, and one day they had a beach picnic and there were horses there. You could ride them in the water if you wanted to and of course I did. This was a really nice resort anyways because they had their own string of horses and you could ride any time you wanted. I went for a ride every morning before the dive boat left out. I had this one special horse that I always rode and she was great. Her name was Diamonte(Diamond). She had some Paso blood in her but she didn't exactly gait. I don't know what she was doing, it didn't feel quite like trot, but it was very fast and very easy to post to. It was a blast!
Dennis Reis had a show on RFDTV one time about teaching a horse to go in the ocean. It was pretty good. They had another horse there that was used to it and basically used the buddy system and lots of approach and retreat. I'm not a big fan of his, he gets on my nerves, but this method seemed to work pretty well and since his place is in California, he seemed to have a good bit of experience at it.
