Horse on the beach

[SLP]

This guy rides down the beach every day and I never have my camera handy - not today though. And yes, it was that cloudy although earlier it had bee sunny and hot.

Thanks for the photos. I know that a lot of folks don't like the idea of a horse along the beach....but I find it beautiful! Part of the charm to me, but I am a country gal and adore horses. With that said, the excrement needs to be taken care of and not just left. Hopefully, this will not end up as one of those photos from the past that we all are praying we could see again. If it does, at least I can recall in my memory..of the beauty of nature trotting peacefully along the beach in Negril.

Respect. Jamaica is nature at its best!! )

Horses should be banned from the beach too many tourists and kids, and some of these guys ride them reckless on the beach, accident waiting to happen, just my opinion.

Most of the horsemen on the beach are young fellows who eat at St. Anthony's Kitchen--the guy in the photo is not one. They have a rough time with the cops as they are not licensed. On the other hand, they are just trying to survive! Most are really nice young men who have dropped out of school. You can argue for them or against them, of course. They just want to eat! They all live in rather poor circumstances! --Fr. Jim

Personally, I think kids should be banned from the beach, but that's just me.

LOL spottycatz! The guys we saw on horseback in December were respectful of the people on the beach and not at all reckless...

You think kids should be banned from the beach??? I hope that was a joke. If not, that was a very stupid thing to say.

Of course it was a joke!

Last week when I was on the beach..one horse left its mark about 5 feet long..it was disgusting and nobody picked it up..hookworm waiting to happen..I can only imagine how many people stepped in it at night..
