When we were on the beach in February, we were walking up to Sunnyside to meet some people for sunset. As we approached the bar we heard a noise approaching from behind and soon recognized the sound of a barking dog and galloping hoofs thudding into the sand. I looked behind us and was startled to see a horse in full gallop approaching us, with a small black dog chasing it down the beach and barking. We stopped and froze, the horse passed us, at a full gallop, no more that two feet to one side. We were both shaken by what we thought was a close call.
Yes, horses on the beach ridden by dangerous riders are an accident waiting to happen. Kids run up and down and across the beach all day long, not looking where they are going. All it will take is on of those idiot horse guys, thundering along . . .
