William the Conqueror set aside the Forest for hunting more than 900 years ago as his 'Nova Foresta' or 'New Forest' and centuries of grazing by deer, ponies and cattle have shaped the landscape making it the most perfect terrain for riding. Today it is a wonderful area to visit and explore on horseback. The landscape of the New Forest National Park is beautiful, rare and fragile. We can cater for all levels and ages here, with accommodation ranging from luxury lodges within a picturesqe holiday village, to quaint bedrooms in the local pub.
