Absolutely fabulous centre. Friendly staff and the owner is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I went as a Christmas present after 6 years out if the saddle. Rode a wonderful horse who was well trained and responsive. It was the best therapy session ever and I will be returning. Even better is the coffee in the Bistro afterwards to warm back up. Well priced and good value with a view to the animals. This is, quite honestly , a magical place.

I went solo on the 2 hour experienced hack as a Xmas treat to myself. All horses are very well looked after. Great facilities and location. Everyone is matched to a horse/ pony then off you go into the wilderness. Such a beautiful setting for hacking with only one road to cross. I really enjoyed it. My only suggestion would of been it would of been better if the staff had hiviz on so it's easier for people to see who they are in such big groups. Especially as it was my first time going. Other than that I will be back again.

We had a brilliant experience at this trekking centre. I used to ride but not for a number of years so it was brilliant to get back into the saddle. My partner cannot ride and he really enjoyed himself. Very helpful staff, beautiful horses and lovely surroundings, all off road. We also got the chance to practise trotting and more experienced riders could also canter. A massive thank you to the staff when I stupidly lost my car key and they couldn’t do enough for us. Also a lovely cafe to have a drink/ lunch in. Would highly recommend!

I have been riding here for almost 20 years, weekly when I can. I am not as young as I was (understatement) so I particularly value the wonderful range of safe and sensible, but still forward going, horses that I am still able to ride. The staff are, without exception, all lovely - patient, helpful, kind and considerate, and they help me mount and dismount, as my grotty knees do get in the way, as they used not to! Safety first is at the heart of trekking, and, whilst we all have a great time on treks, Lisa and her team ensure all riders only do what is within each one's capability (and a few folks' self estimation is not always accurate!). Lisa and team are always mindful of the safety, not just of each individual rider, but of the ride as a whole. Her horses are very well-loved, and beautifully cared for, and it shows. She and her team are all excellent riders and instil confidence. The opportunity to ride out over Cannock Chase is very special, as it is England's smallest area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ONB) and, apart from the stunning scenery, we often see deer, and other wildlife. The scenery changes with each passing season, and is very lovely in late summer when the heather blooms into vast stretches of purple. Finally, there is a super, comfy Ranch-House, a log fire cosily burning on cold days, and good food and drinks (hot and cold) served all day (smart loos too!). My visits here are the highlight of my week.

You could just tell everything was done with love and attention to detail. Can't find fault with anything. Three of us took our granddaughter for a 2 hour trek. Unfortunately the other grandparent was ill. Layla absolutely loved the experience and felt very well looked after. She is 11 and had 1/2 lessons for approximately 18months. She definitely wants to go back as do 2 of the 4 grandparents to actually have a trek themselves. Just bothered about the pain afterwards. Eating facilities and great staff. Clean, friendly and caring.

Not a personal experience but a gift for my granddaughters 11th birthday. She never stopped smiling, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. She's been buzzing with excitement ever since and can't wait to go again. Beautiful place lovely owners and very professional. Will definitely be back.

I went today a sunny Feb afternoon with my 11yr old daughter. Mixed ability group for two hour trek. Took awhile to get such a large group organised and onto the right horse to suit ability, but reassuring that time is taken to get to know skills level and rider before being matched. While out the guides are chatting to you while watching how you handle yourself on the horse for first 30 min. The group is then spilt into those who wish to canter and up the pace and those who wish to remain a-little more gentle. As long as guides are happy you’re capable, they’ll organise horses into the order that will best suit the group. Was a great experience on very steady happy healthy horses/ponies. Got a full two hours out on amazing tracks. Had to cross quiet road on way out and way back guides stopped the cars and handled things really well. Felt confident in the team we were out with and both daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I look forward to returning, and would highly recommend.

What a fantastic 1st class experience we had from booking to having the two hour trek. Every detail to ensure we were given the correct pony from our weight and height to experience was carefully considered. The owners were also riding with us along with other experienced teachers to ensure our safety and enjoyment. The centre for refreshments was also first class. Thank you so much . We can't wait to come back

Had an amazing two hour trek with a friend yesterday. The horses are lovely and so are the staff who went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and make sure we were having a good trek. Had a lovely coffee afterwards and talk with the owner Lisa. Will definitely be back

I had an absolutely amazing time riding at the Cannock Chase Trekking Centre!! My trek was part of a solo trip I took and I couldn't have been happier spending the morning here. Every person I talked to, whether it was the owner, office and bistro staff, or regular riders, was a joy to know and interact with. The horses were beautiful and so well cared for - it is obvious that their enrichment and livelihood is of top priority. I am an advanced rider with 15 plus years of experience and the advanced trek was perfect for the adventure I was looking for. It was a thrilling and joyful ride across the beautiful landscape of Cannock Chase and I will remember it always!!!
