Horses on the beach at Camber Sands

Next month we'll be staying on the beach at Camber for the third year running. For the DDs, one of the highlights is seeing the horses enjoying the beach in the evening and, surprise, surprise, every year both of them have said they'd like to ride a horse on the beach (completely overlooking the fact that neither of them know how to ride).

Are any of you able to point me in the direction of a stables/riding school/similar near Camber that take horses onto the beach? I realise that lessons for non-riders aren't likely to happen on the beach so wondered if there was anywhere that offered a pony trekkingish experience (teen/adult leading an amble on the sand) for 15 minutes or so?!

DDs are aged 5 and nearly 10. Both are sensible, good at following instructions from adults/older children, have a good sense of balance, love animals and have been up close and personal with the enormous Police horses at Lewisham Police station (on an open day/when they stop for a chat whilst on their rounds) so have an idea of the scale. They've each been on a donkey/pony at Kentlife/Fishers Farm Park but that's it!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
