East Midlands Horse Membership
Many of our forests and woodlands are available to explore and enjoy on horseback. From 1 May 2025 a permit is no longer required to ride in these woodlands. A horse riding membership can be purchased here.(link) Your membership helps us care for the locations you enjoy even though permits are no longer needed. Please continue to support the forests and woodlands in our care and the facilities we provide.
Please take note of the following information specific to this membership. For your safety, please keep off the forest walks and mountain bike trails and observe all operational signage and diversions when in place.
We host events throughout the year at many of our sites, so please call or email before boxing up to check when it is best to ride.
Horse riding at Sherwood Pines:
When horse riding at Sherwood Pines, parking is available in the outer main car parks where it is easier to unload and mount up. If these are closed during quieter times, please use a corner of the main car park. Sherwood Pines is a busy site used by many and additional advice on riding can be obtained on request.
For details of walking and mountain bike trails at Sherwood Pines please ask for a guide from the information point on your arrival. These will clearly indicate the routes where you should not ride your horse.
