Horse Riding Western Adventure Day in the New Forest

Please wear full length trousers or jeans and sturdy shoes or boots with a small heel. The heel is important for safety, preventing your foot getting caught in the stirrup. We would prefer shoulders are covered so at least a T shirt please. A pair of gloves is often useful especially in cold or wet weather.

Please allow plenty of time for your journey to the stables. There can be long delays at weekends and holiday periods. The stables offers graded B&B accommodation and will help with other arrangements. The nearest Railway Station is New Milton from London Waterloo.

Howdy, let’s start with ‘bacon and egg sarnies’. You’ll need the energy as you meet, groom and tack up your new best friend. Best not to get on the wrong side of him, you’re in this together as you head off for a beginner horse riding lesson … Cowboy Style !! Time for a lunch break, hay for the horses, a ‘Chicken or Steak’ BBQ for you.

 After lunch, ‘Yeeee Ha’ it’s off into the New Forest, riding amongst the wild forest ponies and cattle before heading on into the leafy glades of the woodlands, where you may be lucky and spot one of the herds of wild deer. At the end of the day it’s a good rub down for your horse before you can take a well earned rest, grab a coffee and dream of a hot bath.
