Ponies on the beach
Ponies on the beach
A popular holiday activity for small holidaymakers from the 1930s until approximately 1982. Children enjoyed riding and leading the ponies and donkeys (owned by the Haig family) on the beach at Elie and Earlsferry. Mr Haig senior was known as the "Donkey Man" but as time wore on the donkeys were replaced with ponies. The saddles worn by most of the ponies were designed for ladies riding side-saddle
