Smell

the fresh salty air that the ocean waves churn out.

Feel

the warmth of Hebridean wind upon your face and the power of your gentle horse below you; carrying you forth.

Taste

the salt on the air as it blows in off the sea and dunes

Sense

a feeling of inner calm , relaxation and well being.

The thrill and pleasure of a Hebridean beach ride is an unforgettable and unique experience. No two days are the same- and regrettably the blue/ white hues can turn to a boiling grey/green sea and sand blasts up the beach within a few hours but can just as quickly return to paradise. Wind, sun and rain sculpt the ever-changing landscape and some lucky riders could experience 4 seasons in one ride and may get a sand exfoliation thrown in for free!

The girls were wonderful, they managed to slot us in for a wee beach ride on the same day we approached them. The centre is run for the community on a voluntary basis so if you have some time I'm sure they'll appreciate an extra pair of hands.
