HORSEBACK RIDING ON THE BEACH
TRADE THE TRAIL FOR THE TIDE.
Video shown for inspiration. Actual equipment, location and experience may vary.
RIDE A HORSE INTO THE BAY.
AND KEEP GOING
This isn’t a horseback ride that happens to be near the water. Ride a rescued Gypsy Vanner or Drum horse straight into Palma Sola Bay — then swim through the water together.
No riding experience required. And keep your eyes open: dolphins and manatees are known to make appearances.

WHY IT’S WORTH DOING
You can ride a horse almost anywhere.
Swimming with one is another matter entirely..
Once the trail disappears beneath the water, this stops feeling like a horseback ride and becomes something you’ll probably never forget.
