I popped into the stables and asked if it was ok to look around. The staff were friendly. The horses seemed very content. There appeared to be a good range of horses and ponies. The position of the stables is excellent. Although I didn't ride on this occasion, I imagine it would be very enjoyable. Conveniently situated for refreshments either... More

Horses are lovely and staff very professional - 1 hour rides are a bit tame for the experienced rider but the 2 & 3 hour hacks offer the opportunity to cover alot of ground with long canters

My best friend and I went on a 2 hour hack with Zoe who was lovely. We had a fantastic time, the horses (Bella and Ginny) were beautiful and the scenery and riding were probably the best we've seen! All the staff were very helpful and obviously knew the horses very well. I can be nervous on new horses but... More

i was bought an hours hack for my birthday, and found the whole experience highly enjoyable. The staff were friendly and put an appropriate horse to my ability, and during the hack would only go as far as the group ability. The hack itself was very scenic.

The 2 hour hack at Forest Park Riding Stables is just perfect to get out in the countryside and enjoy your horse. The horses are all lovely and the escorts are excellent. Would fully recommend either as your regular ride out on the forest or if you are visiting the area on holiday. The staff will help you pick the... More
