Beach Ride

These photos were taken last year at the same beach on the same ride. We went down this big sand dune again!  Fun and scary, especially when your horse wants to gallop down!

  Today my brother, Pete, took me and Tigger up to the beach to ride with the pony club. It began to pour with rain just after we got there. We were the first to arrive and thought it might have been cancelled as it poured all day yesterday and we had a terrific lightening and thunder storm last night to lull us to sleep! The thunder is very loud here because of the hills, one peal goes on and on bouncing up the valleys then back down until it has growled itself out before the next blinding flash and boom. But I am parting from the theme. The sun did come out after a long while and the people and horses gradually arrived and we rode off up the long beach.

   It was all great fun and Tigger's crazy Thoroughbred side came out for the day. I went for a gallop with Peter after everyone else had finished and we didn't have to go slow for everyone. That was the best part of the day!
  On a sad note there were allot of dead birds washed up on the beach from the Pacific Ocean. Apparently allot of birds are starving because the fish are dying because some cold current from Antarctica hasn't come.   We saw a couple of dead puffer fish too. And almost galloped through a fishing wire going down the beach to the sea! Ah, but it was all good and that's all I have to say.

   P. S. Here is something of interest because I'm sure 'all my readers' love The Lady of Shallot
