Feedback

I recently had some trouble where my order was confirmed twice, so i rang the customer help desk, where a lady named Michelle was extremely helpful, and sorted out the problem immediately, meaning I did not get charged for both. I was very pleased with this service and will definately recommend the website to friends.

Introduction to Horse Riding

Learn to ride a horse and experience the true beauty of the New Forest National Park at the same time - perfect for anyone and everyone, even beginners!

The stunning New Forest National Park is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful locations in the United Kingdom. There is simply no better way to view this impressive piece of countryside than by the traditional mode of transport, on horseback. Even if you have no horse riding experience, it is possible for you to enjoy this amazing experience; it allows you to slow the pace of life down and trot gently through the countryside, and the slow pace allows you to really take in the beauty of the area.

Upon arrival at the National Park you will be greeted by your dedicated instructor for the day. They will provide you with all of the safety equipment that you require for the day and give you a 30-minute training session on how to mount the horse safely. Once you feel comfortable with your horse and in control you will head off for your one and a half hour trek through the New Forest.

During this relaxing ride you will be guided through the many impressive sights in the forest including the heath, the wild ponies and cattle and the stunning woodland. If you are lucky you may even see a herd of wild deer.
