Cowboy Horse Riding Adventure for Kids

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.

Family and friends are welcome to watch and take photographs.

The experience is set in a beautiful location in the New Forest. 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 y’all, it’s time to meet your trusty pony and learn how to brush him off and tack him up ready to ride.

All that sorted it’s ‘YEEEE HA’ and off to the arena for a riding lesson ‘Cowboy Style’. You’ll spend about an hour riding your pony before heading back to try your hand at lassoing the cow horns before tucking into a ‘Burger and Beans’ BBQ.

Head off into the sunset with your ‘Cowkid Certificate’ and dreams of riding the range in the Old Wild West

Please allow approximately 2 hours for this experience which includes one hours riding plus grooming, tacking up, lassoing and BBQ
