Parking a horsebox in the New Forest

Hi

We live about 10 mins drive from the forest. Our plan is to buy a horsebox and park in one of the New Forest car parks, then ride out.

I'm not seen many people doing the same, so wonder if there is some issue or is it just that hacking out is not as popular as I imagine?

Any advice ?

As far as I am aware there is no issue with it. I see a few trailers/boxes at the weekend parked up at Janesmoor Pond.

We, very occasionally, park at Canada Common.

No I've seen and done this quite a few times. Wilverley and Horseshoe bottom, also Setley Pond. I think the main thing would be to do a recce first, make sure there's room to load/unload/manoevre. I suspect a lot of those who do it, do it early before the dog walkers/holidaymakers are up and about to get in the way and block you in!

We go to Canada Common, Stoney Cross, and Burley once a month - just park up and go. It's best to do a rekki first so you can suss out the most accessible car parks - Stoney cross has some lovely big car parks

Wilverley is a great car park as is Dibden car park, depending which area you are coming from!
