Throw sand in their eyes.

Answer 2

Make two large right angle triangular brackets from planks 7' along the bottom and 5' on the upright. Place them three feet apart facing the sea with the vertical sides adjacent. Secure them to the sand with long metal spigots and stand your horse between them for a sense of perfect security.Enjoy
