Riding in the Ashdown Forest

AshdownThe Ashdown Forest offers some of the most beautiful and spectacular riding in the South East of England.  It is a vast area of over 6,500 acres of open heathland and wooded ghylls (valleys). 

Riding on the Forest is by permit only and riding permits can be supplied. A requirement of the permit is that the rider and horse have third party liability insurance.  This is usually provided with your standard horse insurance but can also be obtained by joining an organisation such as the British Horse Society. A copy of your third party insurance is required at time of booking.  We regret we are unable to provide a Forest Permit without this insurance.

We appreciate some riders will be more than happy to take a map and ride out on their own with some initial directions.  However, we also offer a guiding service where we will accompany you to ensure you visit the best spots and get the most out of our stay.  We can tailor a ride to suit all levels of experience and are all at an easy pace.  Your horses do, however, need to be relatively fit as there is a lot of hill work involved to see the spectacular views.

Guiding service: £25 for a 2-2.5 hour ride (cost shared between riders)

 £50 for a full day ‘around the Forest’ ride (cost shared between riders)
  The full day ride can be met with a sandwich lunch and refreshments plus water for your horses en route at an additional cost of £8.50 per person
 
Forest Permit: £5 per day
  A refundable deposit of £50 is required for the Forest Permit

We also have several local riding instructors who can be booked to come out to Adds Farm for private or group tuition (flat work or jumping) during your stay.
