Personality

Palee is our wise soul. He has the calm that only comes with experience, and his favourite place in the world is the sea. He loves nothing more than standing quietly in the water, feeling the breeze and watching the world go by. There’s something very special and peaceful about Palee; he reminds us all to slow down sometimes.

Wise, calm, peaceful and completely at home by the ocean.

Meet Palee on the Beach Walk

Palee is retired and isn’t ridden, but he often comes along on the Beach Walk. On the Beach Walk & Freedom you walk the herd to Cas en Bas beach, get to know each horse and watch them roll, splash and play. No riding needed.

Rates from US$50 per person

Every ride is private, with your own guide, photos and videos of your ride, and a horse ridden once a day at most.
