I wish they would just outlaw the beach horse riding all together.
I have no problem with the animals.....but the guys riding them are unbelievably rude.
Isn't there any other place they could bring the folks who actually WANT to ride them?
True story...a few weeks ago, one of my buddies (a total "city boy") sees two of them coming up the beach while we were all out in the water and he says that he wants to get closer and see the horses. So, I tell him to just forget it and let them pass, but he's not really listening to me at this point. (he was getting out to grab another "grenade" anyway) Then, right in front of our resort, the guy starts bringing his horse into the water. (at this point I know exactly what's happening and I start calling for my friend to stop but he's still not listening to me) The guy walks the horse into the water about belly deep and the horse obviously does his "business" DIRECTLY in front of my friend. The look of horror on his face as he turned to us in astonishment was priceless.
Luckily this was the day before we left as he would NOT go back into the water for the rest of the trip.
He just couldn't believe that we were all swimming in a giant horse toilet.![]()
