Information
Riders registered online for the Puur Terschelling sunset ride via the Puur Terschelling website. A calendar showed all rides scheduled for the selected day. Guests paid directly online and received a ticket for each ride.
The group consisted of 5 riders plus the guide. The guide carried a first-aid kit.
Stable
The farm was clean and painted black, matching the Friesians. The horses spent their free time in a paddock. Some horses might have been in a smaller paddock shortly before the ride, where hay was available.
Arrival
Upon arrival, six Friesians were waiting in a paddock. A few minutes later, the staff led the horses to the covered tying area at a relaxed trot. The employees tied the horses and prepared them for the ride.
During this time, a team member assessed the riding experience of each guest and assigned horses. Guests mounted from the right side using a mounting block. The staff adjusted the stirrups, and then the ride began.

Trail Ride
The ride started immediately on sandy paths through the dunes. Our first trot was in the dunes. Riders were allowed to ride side by side during the ride. At the beach, we soon entered the first canter. A few times, we cantered along the wide, one-kilometer-long beach at a relaxed pace. We rode on the beach until we had to turn back into the dunes. The route continued through dunes, a forest, and back through more dunes to return to the stable.
After the ride
Back at the stable, each rider dismounted. The staff tied the horses at the covered area to unsaddle and unbridle them. The horses were rewarded with food before returning to the paddock.
Photos
There was a photo break at the beach. Riders handed their own phones to the guide.
My Review
I really enjoyed this ride. The wide sandy beach by the sea was beautiful. The canters were wonderful, and it was great that riders could ride side by side in all gaits. Riding a Friesian on the beach is an amazing feeling. The horses were well cared for, and everyone had fun.
