Sand, sea breeze and the steady rhythm of hooves set the scene before you even meet your horse. The ride begins roughly 7 km from Agadir, where riders mount up beside low dunes and a stand of tall eucalyptus that smells sharp and resinous. For two hours you follow tracks that edge the beach (horses aren’t permitted on Agadir’s public sand) then cut into shaded gullies toward the mouth of Oued Souss, where the river meets the Atlantic.
