This summer I intend to take Obi to a gallop and let him go . I know there is one at Crow Wood in Blackburn. Are there any other gallops in Lancs, pref nearer to Blackpool, where a few of us can go for a blast?

Knott end beach,you can let them go there,really flat and hardly ever wet as the tide stays well out most of the time.
There is a racing stables near cartmell sands maybe they have a proper gallop.
Hows about southport beach out of season,again brilliant and flat,stannes beach as well,there is allways horse boxes on there at weekends taking horses for a gallop. |

| I live just across the bay from southport beach and within a stones throw of MILES of sand to gallop on, but i've never had the bottle to have a go! Prefer somewhere where horse has to STOP!!! |

I fancy a proper gallop track rather than the beach as Obi not keen on sand (ha ha - pride of the desert!). The Tank would be my choice for a beach ride but the idea is to be able to really let Obi go for it. I have never been able to get to top speed as we always have to pull up when we run out of space. I want somewhere secure so if I hit the deck, he will be safe .
Lami - we are all fine thanks. U still at Ruth's?
Honeyb - I will go to Crow Wood one day and will give you a shout. You can have a fly around on Obi while I take it nice and steady on The Tank. |
