| Horse Riding In the New Forest |
| Saddle up and discover the beauty of the New Forest on horseback. Suitable for beginners. (Hampshire) |
|
|
| 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 is still on horseback. This unforgettable ride takes you across the grasslands and heaths where forest ponies run free, and into the woods, home to the fox, badger and many herds of wild deer. Then it's back to the stables for refreshments and a delicious barbecue, allowing you time to reflect on a morning spent exploring these ancient woodlands. |
