Hello everybody and welcome back to my podcast, Esme's Country Life. In today's episode, we're going to be

talking about a very chaotic beach ride, how my dog fossey has made an arch nemesis, and also how I have

found some mystery items in my garden. But anyway, before we begin, I just want to say a huge thank

you to the sponsor with the podcast, Red Post. Red Post is a equestrian and country store based in the UK and they also ship all over the world. And did you know that the new Lemure colours are out? And I know I said this last time, but I know lots of different people are from lots of countries that listen all over the world. And maybe in your your country you can't get your hands on the

new lemur colours maybe you know your favourite colours sold out maybe you never know so do you know what

you can do you can go to redpost because they do ship all over the world and you can get yourself

new colours or maybe some other little bits and bobs to spruce up your spring summer equestrian

wardrobe so anyway go and check them out at spring summer equestrian wardrobe. So anyway, go and

check them out at redpost equestrian.co.uk. Anyway, talking of the new lemur colours, actually the other

day I took my pony, Casper, to the beach for a ride, and the plan was to try and get some

photos or content of the new spring summer collection.

So I actually, this is actually part of a little beach vlog that I have coming out soon to my YouTube channel,

but I thought I would tell you some hidden behind the scenes of what happened on that particular day.

So as always, I was super prepared.

I was like, okay, let's go. So the night before,

gave Caspar a bath, put all my tack in the horse box ready to go because I was like, okay,

we need to leave early because the beach that we normally go to, it's nice because it's open

all year round. I know some beaches, they close in the summer to horses, unless you go at like five in the morning. I mean, we were still getting up at the crack of dawn to get there. But that was more to do with the tides because normally it's a pebble beach. And then when the tide goes, I always get tides going in and out. When it goes out, we have a bit of sand that you can ride on.

It's not a load of sand, but it's enough that you can have a canter and a gallop and a bit of a blast. You just have to be careful because sometimes every time we go to that beach, it looks a little bit different. There's some of the sand is a little bit sinky, so you have to make sure you don't go to the sinky sand. And then also some on, there's like kind of bits of coral and bits of kind of, not reef, but I don't know, like stones, some rocks.

There we go, that's probably the better way.

We're not quite tropical coral over here in the UK.

But yeah, there are some like rocky bits that you have to be careful of as well. But obviously when the tide's all the way out and the sea has disappeared, you can see, you
