About

Forest Oaks is a brand new equestrian centre in Lymington in The New Forest. Forest Oaks is run and owned by resident trainer and international grand prix dressage rider Ellie McCarthy. Two full time grooms live onsite so there is always someone on the yard.

Our aim is to provide specific livery yards and facilities that nowhere else in the New Forest can, and we use only the best products on all the horses.

Our Hayledge is cut from our own 30 acres of fields onsite, and we use dust free bedmax shavings and feed from Saracen horse feeds.

We do not believe horses should be stuck in their stables all day everyday, so all horses are turned out for a minimum of 2 hours a day (weather depending) on top of walking twice a day and being exercised.

Dressage training
& schooling for all

If you are looking for things to do in Lymington, our equestrian facility has something for all ages and abilities. Our dressage training and horse riding are provided by an international Grand Prix rider, and we can advise on all your Equestrian enquiries such as feeding, fitness, sales etc.
