The New Forest National Park has been the hunting ground of Kings as far back as William the Conqueror and the best way to explore its plains and woodlands is still on horseback. Beginner riders are welcome on this ride, which rounds off back at the stables with a sizzling ‘Chicken 'n' Steak’ BBQ and a chance to reflect on your time riding in the New Forest.

What happens on the day

Time to don your riding hat and meet your instructors for a safety briefing before you head off for a 30 minute mounted lesson, settling you on your mount and getting you in control. With that sorted you'll ride out into the New Forest on a 90 min hack, over the heath, amongst the wild forest ponies and cattle, and on into the woodlands where you may be lucky and spot one of the many herds of wild deer. Meanwhile the BBQ is red hot, so there’s plenty of hot food, soft drinks, hot tea and coffee waiting for your return. So…’Get yer jeans on and ride the range’
