Edit-I and my husband done an hour hack yesterday with Grace. We were so satisfied with her and enjoyed much canter in newforest.
This place is hidden gem.

I have done an hour hack here last week. I think One of the best riding school in Hampshire. I will return next week for another hack. Highly recommend!

We stayed here in the Cl site twice during our visit to the New Forest.
Lovely little laid back site within easy walking distance of Brockenhurst .
Step across the road and your are on the heath in the company of some of the many ponies that roam freely.
The toilet is shared with the stables and there are no showers..I have added that not as a criticism but just for info.
We loved it there and hopefully will go return.

Fantastic school, had a lesson with Sara who is a brilliant teacher and gave me really clear specific advice to improve my riding. Already in love with Wally, one of the loveliest horses I've ever ridden! Will definitely be back.

My daughter has so far had two private lessons and is loving the experience! Sara was so welcoming and made her feel relaxed and comfortable. She was super encouraging and made my daughter feel like an expert already! Thank you!

We rang and was pleased to be told we could be fitted in at short notice which was great there was four of us. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, it was obvious they care a great deal about the horses and ponies. The horses were very well behaved and the hack was enjoyed by us all. We will be coming back!!!

I rang this stables as I’m an experienced rider and wanted a fast ride through the forest. I specifically stated that i did not want to be put on a ride, if the other riders weren’t experienced.
On arrival i checked that this was the experienced riders ride and was told yes. Myself 2 guides and five others set off on the 2 hour forest ride. We spent 90% of this ride in WALK and only trotted 3 times
Disappointed is not the word. I was angry that i was charged £70 for this stroll around the forest. The other riders were not assessed for there competence and one had never ridden outside off an arena.
If you want a canter through the forest DONT GO HERE! Save your money and try elsewhere.

Accommodating and sensible with request for my daughter. Welcome not that great but offset by lovely lesson with very experienced instructor and responsive pony. Would recommend overall.

Good place to ride for adults, professionally organised and friendly with point to point racing connections. Ideally situated for hacking on the Forest or lessons in manege or indoor school.
I look forwards to further visits.
