Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a complete novice this western riding experience is suitable for everyone. Riding either a ‘paint’ or appaloosa (spotty) horse in full western turnout, you are sure to look & feel like a cowboy. With 94, 000 acres of ancient New Forest National Park land to explore, the two hour trail ride takes you across open plains, wooded enclosures & rippling streams. Leave the stresses & worries of life behind you, relax & enjoy a gentle trail through the stunning countryside. You will round off your experience with a sizzling steak & chicken barbecue back at the ranch, which will be welcome, as you will have worked up an appetite from your ride! On the day you will be asked to complete a registration & acceptance form before receiving a short safety briefing from your instructor. Your western trail then begins with a short lesson in the arena before heading out in to the New Forest where you will roam through the stunning scenery of grasslands & heaths, amongst the New Forest ponies & foals & possibly fallow or roe deer. All trails are mixed ability & are conducted at walk & jog paces only.
