I've ridden on Pembrey Beach before and through the woods - it was great fun right up to the point the mare I was riding tripped whilst cantering in teh surf and we both ended up under water! It was just after Xmas a few years ago and the ride back to stables was freezing cold as I was soaked to the skin and there was still ice on the ground - brrr! Getting out of cold wet riding gear into something dry for the 2hr drive home - changing in an unheated toilet - happy memories!
Have a great time! If it were closer I'd consider it

Thanks for the replies - shame no IHDGers are going this year though. I haven't ridden at Pembrey yet myself - I've heard the beach is HUGE so I'm hoping to take my girl to a smaller beach first to see how she reacts to that!
Don't think I'll be cantering in the surf after hearing LuckyRed's story - I just don't DO cold very well.....brrrrrrrrr.

Pembrey is about 5 miles long - with sand dunes behind it that have been planted up with forestry commission trees - it's great! Don't bother taking her to a smaller beach Telstar - even if she goes mad -there is so much space that you can let her go mad and then 'reel' her in again!

Well, I've sent off my entry form so I'm committed to going now! Determined to do more with my mare this year as last year was a total washout..............
