Could it be Calythea?

No, Azelia is correct. Species level is a difficult task. It seems to me that on the 1-st photo I can see p-seta on t2. Most probably A. trigonica Hennig, 1956

Were there some horses grazing on Zuydcoote's wooded dune?

Yes, I saw at least one behind barrier, and sometimes there are Horses walking in the wooded dunes and I frequently see Horse droppings on the ground.

It is an important rule for one who wants to find interesting Azelia: search around horse dung. Or elephant one... :D
