LARF organise trail rides in these areas - they are a good bunch that go trailriding all over the country. Other groups here Be prepared that most trail riding groups may not seem all that friendly initially - what they are actually doing is trying to weed out the people who want to use the greenlanes for enduro practice (remember greenlanes are public roads and will have concentrations of horse riders, militant ramblers, angry / homicidal landowners...) There are some difficulties involved with greenlaning, but the upside is that you get to see some stunnning parts of the country and enjoy riding sometimes tricky terrain.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
