The natural beauty of the National Park and its varying landscapes creates the ultimate backdrop for a day out horse riding and we’ll even start you off a with a hearty breakfast in our Lyndhurst Restaurant In The New Forest or welcome you back with a big home cooked meal after working up an appetite whilst taking to the bridleways and tracks, crossing the open heathland, and even trying out some of the coastal routes on horseback.
Whether you’re a beginner and need a helping hand and first lesson or a seasoned rider ready to hack through the open countryside, there are plenty of opportunities, routes and equestrian centres in the area that accommodate horse riders of all abilities to enjoy horse riding in the New Forest.
