lovely idea...im based in berks though so a little out of my way unfortunately :0(
Have you tried hacking out around Wellington park...? There is quite alot of hacking over that way, through woods etc...
 
I sold my trailer last yr due to going to uni so if I still had it I would def meet up...I ride out on my own too and it isnt much fun....
Im based in Newbury, if you ever come this way...I ride up on the kingsclere downs which go for mile...
 
Quite lucky in your area actually cause you have twealesdown jumping course and quite alot of shows in that area...
Have you tried riding never Goldaming...? over side of guildford....there is riding that goes for miles...
I tend to look on streetmap as it shows bridleways....
 
I can hack to tweseldown and have done since I was 11, but am bored of dodging the warden!!! Might even get a permit this year as i keep getting caught

Sometimes I wish merlin was a plain bay...... he is a bit too flashy to forget in a hurry.... and seems to like the warden, who is actually scared of horses!! Merlin would like to get in the car with him

Just fancied hacking somewhere that you can risk a trot without knackering horses joints

its so flinty over the MOD land its untrue.

Also have to prove to me and OH that I need this tow vehicle and trailer or I might as well sell them off!!
 
I know there is a good riding to the back of Eversley which isnt too far....its down a country lane and very horsey country...looks a little like the new forest in fact....
heres a map for it....its good riding, spongey good cantering land and there is often trailers and boxes lined up there with horses....

The arrow is pointing at the Golden Pot pub, which is just around the corner from it - thought it might be a good idea to pop in there once you've had your ride...or for the OH to hang out while you are off exploring the countryside :0)
 
Me and my friend are planning to do more away days from our base in west london (hacking on the M4 isn't great!).

We plan to head to near Farnham for our next adventure so if you fancy a hack with a giant skewbald cob and a one-eyed pony give me a shout!
 
I keep my mare in badshot lea and we have the whole of crocksbury common to hack onto, your quite welcome to tow to my yard and ill show you around the area, lots of sandy canter tracks!!!
 
We are in Ash - between Farnham and Guildford - and we hack out over the Ash Ranges, miles and miles of great hacking, only prob 10 minute drive from you, even with trailer.... If you wish to join us one weekend just shout, can park trailer at our yard then just cross the road...
 
Frensham, you can park near where the Frensham sponsored ride starts and hack for miles (quite sandy), don't think you need a permit (no signs and have never been asked anyway)!!!! I could box there to meet you.

Crumbs, my old stomping ground - and I bet if I came down there now, I'd still remember my way round.....
