If you ask a horse lover about their equestrian bucket list, more likely than not riding on the beach will be included! There’s something about the surf, wind, sand and sun that just invites a big, open gallop… that is if your horse isn’t afraid of the ocean! We think these beach photos are the perfect way to celebrate summer winding down.

The Plaid Horse does not condone riding barefoot or without a helmet under any circumstances. These photos are for entertainment only.
