Horse riding Penang style!

Arrived in Penang late last night so had to investigate the local beach after breakfast.
This young man looked so relaxed riding his horse at the water's edge with bare feet - he circled round and rode up to us and it turned out he was offering horse riding on the beach.
Lovely nature his horse had - I cast the vet's eye over it and was tempted. I told him I had done a lot of horse riding as a vet student but sadly that wasn't yesterday !
