Day 2
The itinerary said
2 hour ride along Kilahoey beach continuing up the headland off Hornhead taking in the views of Sheephaven Bay.....
What a wonderful day. Facilities are great.
And the weather (today again) is just as good if not better.
We can all hardly wait to get going - this is the yard were we mount the horses, but we do not hang around here any longer than we need to.
We all get tacked up and we are off.
Cantering was wonderful on the mud flats this afternoon. Lovely long canters and lots of them.
So much better than in the forests where I am always nervous what surprise will be just around the corner, to hurt or spook the horses.
They time the riding on the beach and surf for when the tide is out, looking back at them now the flats are underwater.
Voodoo was a great horse but does NOT like mints. I tried four times to give him the mints that you put into my suitcase. Every time he turned aside his nose. Luckily every other horse loves them.
I have asked my friends who took pictures on the ride to give them to me and then I send them to you later this evening.
Love, Les
