Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

When I was on holiday [US: vacation] by the seaside, I had the opportunity to go horse riding on the beach. I had always wanted to do it, and it was even better than everything that I had imagined! I met my horse Bounty at sunrise, and we got along immediately. As we were picking up speed along the beach, all my worries vanished one by one in the wind. I could feel the sea air on my face as the foam from the waves splashed around us... I had never felt so free. I will go back there as soon as I can!

I'll be right with you...
