Where in the country are you? Someone may have details of bridleways groups?
Urgh, I hate hacking for all the reasons stated in the OP!.
Fair do's!
If someone's around at the yard, I'll try on Tuesday.
]Woohoo first solo hack on Amber. Very pleased with myself. I tried to find company and nearly talked myself out of it 100 times. But in the end just got on and got on with it! Even braved a little canter on a grass verge.
Well????

Good news!
I did. No one at the yard that day (I haven't a clue about distances or placing poles) so I went hacking where I knew there were fallen logs in the forest and popped him over 3. Not big, not fast but ... I guess it's a start.
In this day and age there is no need for horses to be on roads and it certainly is not safe.

It gives horses variety, interest, exposure to new things and nice straight training, let alone fitness - I think it is essential TBH?
Essential? Nope. Pleasant? Yes, if that's what you and your horse enjoy.

Well, exactly! That is kinda the point isn't it? Nothing is compulsory and just because "everyone" does something doesn't make it so.
