Horse Riding In the New Forest
Saddle up and discover the beauty of the New Forest on horseback. Suitable for beginners
The New Forest has been the hunting ground of Kings as far back as William the Conqueror and the best way to explore its plains is still on horseback. This unforgettable ride takes you across the grasslands and heaths where forest ponies run free, and into the woods, home to the fox, badger and many herds of wild deer. Then it's back to the stables for refreshments and a delicious barbecue, allowing you time to reflect on a morning spent exploring these ancient woodlands.
Agenda - Horse Riding In the New Forest
Your experience starts with a welcome beverage and a safety briefing with your instructor, then its time to head out to the stables where you will meet your horse. There will be a half hour riding lesson before you take part in a hack. Under strict supervision your 2 hour beginner ride will meander through the forest whilst separate rides are available for more seasoned riders. After your mornings riding the instructor will lead you back to the stables for a barbecue lunch and refreshments.
