Has anyone ever ridden western in the New Forest, I want to have a go but not do it regularly ? We were thinking of going down for a little break, and riding western there sounds great
Tis where I have been going, being a London girl, can only go every so often, but they are just fab! Wonderful, healthy, happy horses, good instructors, riding out in the forest and yummy BBQs
Horses are turned out mares/geldings, you can go and catch in your horse, they arent molly-coddled either, just safe, sane ponios
I've always wondered if Burley was any good for western. I would love to have my own western horse. I've ridden western numerous times in Canada and I just love it. Apparently when I'm rich (!) I'm going to buy my non horsey sister a western horse she loved it so much when we went.
CB - They are mostly a 'western' kinda yard, but they do English riding as well. I had my first taste of lateral work there as well, never dreamed I could do that! There is nothing like riding amongst the ponies in the forest
