Hydrate before you ride
Bring a filled water bottle and drink before and after—beach sun and salt air can dehydrate faster than you expect.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sandals or riding boots protect toes and help keep your feet secure in the stirrups on sandy terrain.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen, a brimmed hat under your helmet, and sunglasses to shield against reflected light off the sand.
Listen to the guide
Guides assess your skill and the horse’s temperament—follow their commands for mounting, pace changes and when passing surf.
