The Beach Ride - Sandwich Bay 22/8/15

What a brilliant morning! Weather perfect, great turn-out, super fun. A couple of tumblers but glad to say all is well with horses and riders.
It should be noted that The Gather photo-team were out to record the event in their usual intrepid style (on foot) and that at one stage there was a photographer deeper in the sea than any of the horses!! The things these people will do for their art!

Many thanks to the organisers and hosts - looking forward to the next beach visit!

Photographs

These and many more will be found on The Gather's website (HERE) later tonight.
