New Forest Guides

[Annabubble]

Does anyone know of someone who can join you and your horse as a guide around the New Forest? Please.

@Peregrine Falcon a job for you?

I actually think someone has started doing this. What area are you in or hoping to visit?

I’ll keep an eye on this in case I can help at all.

Very very interested in the responses as something I was planning to do, but don’t know the area and guide would be a life saver - along with local horse b&b that can do a night or two. (single room)

I really don't mind to be honest.

NFED is a good place to start.

Thank you, I will contact them.

A word of warning for anyone thinking of visiting. Warmer months you will experience the delights of the crab fly. These are vile little creatures that scuttle about (normally underneath your horses belly and under carriage) and can cause 'unwanted' behaviours! They will only die when you break their backs with your thumbs.

I'm in New Forest and know some decent routes, depending where you're heading.

I did this 8 or so years ago, with a guide called Mike, he was brilliant, knew a lot about the birds and wildlife. Cannot for the life of me remember his surname! Highly recommend getting a guide, a lot of the marshy bits look solid, and it would be easy to get lost

There’s a new forest riders Facebook group and I’m sure there’s a chap called Steve that does guided rides too.
