The Horse and The Shrimp / Saddling Up The World / Episode 4

Welcome to the fourth episode of "Saddling Up the World"
"The Horse and the Shrimp"
On the western end of Belgium’s short coastline, about 20 km east of Dunkirk, France, is a place called Oostduinkerke where a handful of fishermen practice an unusual form of fishing. Instead of using boats, these fishermen ride out to the sea on horseback.

"Saddling Up the World" is a series that presents in each episode human stories and stories of horses, and the unique experiences that result when these merge into one. Our quest is to decode that spiritual dialogue that invades every space that has been touched by a horseman and his horse.
These are the stories of men and women on horseback. Of an alliance that was forged millennia ago, and today flourishes beyond civilizations and languages.

prachtige reportage..... mijn grootvader heeft zo gevist voor jaren in oostende, mijn pa had een erg oostend accent en mijn ma was van nederland en we hebben zoveel gelachen omdat we we heel verschiilende accenten hoorde thuis... maar de garnalen waren altijd op de menu als kids.... now here in canada i miss them, so every time i go on holiday to belgium, guess what's on the menu? tomate crevette, bien sure!!!! er zijn vele dingen die ik miss van belgie maar in canada wonen is toch net ietske beter....
