Rempstone Forest Horseback Riding Tour

Experience Studland

Rempstone Forest Horseback Riding Tour

Experience Studland

Enjoy this experience in Studland. Your forest adventure begins at the equestrian center in the coastal village of Studland. After meeting your friendly instructors and being paired with the perfect horse for your height, weight, and ability, you will be fitted with your safety gear. Leaving the stables, the tour heads away from the coast and directly into the lush, sheltered canopy of Rempstone Forest. You will spend two hours exploring a quiet network of sandy trails and grassy clearings. Because this area is a protected Site of Special Scientific Interest, the environment is thriving with life—keep your eyes peeled for native reptiles, wild ponies, and roaming Highland cattle. The ride also features spectacular vantage points offering panoramic views down over the boats and islands of Poole Harbour..
