As we trotted down the grassy track, the water finally came into view. I saw the golden sand, empty, I had tactfully decided to come late in the evening! My brand new Gypsy Cob Diamond was doing very well! I had got him the night before, and wanted to show him that it was a great place to live. We reached the track that led to the beach. I stopped and looked at the beautiful setting ahead. The sun was setting across the sea, and the sang looked more golden than ever. Diamond looked around curiously. I walked him over to the sea, and let the waves splash around his hooves. He snorted excitedly and tiptoed in further. I turned and trotted steadily. Then, when Diamond was warmed up, I went full steam ahead and let him canter! Diamond threw his head up in excitement, and went faster and faster! I HAD to let him gallop! The water seemed cold, but was in fact warm, as I realised when Diamond's hooves splashed it up on my face! We cantered, and then trotted once more. I hadn't been to the part of the beach we had reached. It was like a second little beach, with more rocks than sand! I dismounted, and led Diamond over to the rocks that were in the shallow water. I sat down and remembered how lucky I was to own a magnificent 6 year old that was gorgeous. I kissed his muzzle and mounted. We trotted back across the sand and turned up the slope. I groomed Di once we got home, he was sandy!! ;D

"hey!" I said. I patted Dream, and introduced him to Diamond. They sniffed and snorted, but then ignored each other. "So, you wanna go for another quick gallop? My boy needs to shed a few pounds anyway!" I said laughing.

"I have NO idea!!" I said laughing. "Sorry, I was just enjoying the scenery, as usual!! Haha!" I looked around while I slowed Diamond. "I havent jumped him yet, maybe now would be a good time to start!" I said. I dismounted, tied Diamond to a warning sign, beside Dream. Then Nicole and I ran off, looking for bits of rubbish to make jumps with!! I found two buckets young children had obiously been using for sandcastles, and Nicole brought some long logs and sticks. We made two jumps, they ddint look very good, but OH WELL!! We mounted again and I went first! Diamond cantered towards the jump and sailed over it! I kept going towards the next, and he took a big leap over it too! "YOUR TURN!" I called

I asked dream to canter and he responded willingly.I turned him toward the first jump and he pulled towards it bvut instead of doing a normal jump he jumped it sideways and then took off in a gallop accross the beach! Easy i murmured and eventually he slowed to a gentle canter.I walkeed him up to candy and said i would try again and told her he was still young and not very well trained yet.I trotted him towards it and he trotted over it lifting his legs nealy over the strange fence! Good boy i said patting him as he trotted over the next fence.

I giggled at Dream's crazy antics! "So what age is he!?" I called. "My lad is only 6, but hes a quick learner!" I said, stripping Diamond's tack. Dream made it over the second fence! Nicole trotted over, and asked me what I was doing, as I neatly laid my saddle on top of my numnah, which was on a smooth rock! "I'm going for a swim!" I said happily. "The tide is about perfect, and the water won't be too cold, it was a nice day!" I said. "Care to join us?" I removed Diamond's leather bridle, and quickly slipped his webtec washable one instead! "That's my rough work bridle!! *lol* I use it for muddy rides!" I explained. "And at 19.99 they're pretty cheap!" I prepared to take the plunge, taking off my body protector, to reveal my cute HOT 2 TROT t-shirt! "And I guess I don't need boots if I'm going in bareback!" I said giggling. I ripped off my boots, and put them beside my tack. Based on a real bridle!! lol (Please look at it and if anyone has any of these type bridles, please tell me, I'm curious! lol) www.tackanory.co.uk/product.php?xProd=119

"Woah you must trust that horse!!" I said, looking at the naked creature. I made Diamond tip toe in, and in and even further in! Nicole was soon by my side and the waves lapped over our horse's hooves. "Wanna go deeper?" I asked, as the water reached our horses bellies
