My friend and I hadn’t ridden for many years but enjoyed a great day at the trekking centre. The owner was very welcoming and took great care in matching us all in the group to the most appropriate horse, depending upon our age and experience. The young handlers were very helpful and helped us to mount, making sure we were comfortable before we set off. We enjoyed an easy hour’s ride along trails, appreciating the countryside around us. The young handlers rode alongside us giving advice and making sure everyone was ok. Their presence was reassuring for the novice riders. Once back at the stables, there was time for photos and we were helped to dismount. My friend and I enjoyed every minute and rewarded ourselves with lunch in the very stylish Ranch Café on site. The food was excellent too! We hope to return in the Spring.

Amazing setting. We went for a wonderful trek over Cannock Chase. It was advertised as a trek for all abilities and it really was. I felt that everybody was looked after and catered for. The owner made a real effort to take her time and match people with an appropriate mount. The staff were really friendly and it wasn’t intimidating at all, even for someone like me who’s not ridden in a while. Highly recommend.

My favourite place ever! My first ever horse experience was here, I came having never ridden a horse before but staff were great at teaching me the basics and making sure I was safe and comfortable but also giving me just the right amount of push to ensure I had a good time. My first ever canter was also here, I had no formal lessons, the girls stayed next to me the whole time, talking me through and giving me pointers to improve (and making sure I was safe). 10 months into my riding journey and now having had some lessons, I feel so much more comfortable on the horse and I am extremely grateful to CCTC to starting my love for riding and always making me feel so welcome. Staff will come and chat to you as you are riding and even in the busier rides, will always make time for 1:1 with each customer. Thank you Lisa and the team and of course the wonderful horses

Let me tell you just how lovely this experience was. My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday and we drove down to Cannock Chase Trekking Centre. I had no idea where we were going or what we were doing and as soon as we parked I got out of the car to be greeted by 2 adorable goats and a couple of sheep (this = Sara in her happy place!!!) Once I realized we'd be horse riding my excitement soared. The front desk staff quickly fitted us with helmets and had us sign our waivers and then we were off. The staff were absolutely lovely. Checking in on our experience levels, how comfortable we were throughout, answering any questions we had and in all generally providing a very safe and fun environment. We had perfect overcast and even bits of sunny weather up until the last 5 minutes when it started to hail. I'm so grateful for my horse Splash, he was a true stubborn gentleman :) After we were finished with our ride, we popped inside to an incredibly cozy sitting area to warm up and had a Carmel cappuccino and a tasty treat each. I would definitely recommend to anyone curious. I will definitely come back as I would like to better learn how to trot.

I planned a riding weekend away from home and stayed in a hotel close to the trekking centre. I have been on the two hour hacks every day from Friday to Sunday, even going twice on Saturday! I have had a wonderful break. I feel it's been a unique experience in that the staff are friendly and professional, the horses are safe but have character and the ability to be forward going for the right rider. Every person feels taken care of and is matched with the right horse for them. Lisa, the owner, does this in a fun and entertaining way! The bistro is amazing! I have travelled to Cannock alone but feel I've met a very special and unique equine family ❤️

What a find, situated on the edge of the stunning Cannock Chase area, we rode through beautiful heathers, through streams, woodland and open spaces, past resting deers too. We had multiple long canters, trots and stunning walks over the two hours. The horses are stunning (54 of them!) all sizes, and they are all so considerate, it felt like whatever your level they would look after you. Lisa the host and owner has bred and trained most of them and she has a great connection with them too (and they with her) it’s beautiful to watch. An absolute gem of a trekking centre, there is also an awesome bistro for lunch, and so much more. Cant believe we didn’t find it sooner!

We had a fantastic time on our ride, I rode Nymeria and she was a dream. Lisa is so knowledgeable and clearly loves her horses as they are all so well cared for and enjoying life! The staff helping out with the ride were all really friendly and, even though we were a large group, they were so organised and attentive. We even had photos taken by a professional photographer which was an added bonus! We stopped in the bistro afterwards too and spent at least an hour there. Great food and atmosphere and lovely staff. We will certainly visit again!

I made a new friend over the weekend, her name was Kitty a beautiful Presian horse that I had the pleasure of meeting at the Cannock Chase Trekking Centre. What an unforgettable experience that has given me a new passion for horse riding. The owner and staff put you right at ease, are extremely knowledgeable and the horses are very well looked after and trained. The scenery was stunning as I along with about twenty other mixed ability riders rode through cannock chase, a beautiful area of woodland and countryside in Staffordshire. This was my first time riding a horse and I really look forward to going again. I am already planning my next trip.

Our daughter and 5 of her friends went on the one hour trek, Saturday July 21st. They had a super time, the staff were great, a very happy experience for our daughter and her friends, all aged between 8 and 9. I highly recommend it! Chris and Margaret Ralphs

A must visit for anyone, set in the beautiful Cannock Chase, horses all around that are happy, loved and enjoy what they do if you wish to take an opportunity for a ride - everyone is so friendly and welcoming and horses all unique and ready to support all abilities, we ride regular here. But also we enjoy coming for good food and a great place for meet ups so for those who wish not to ride settle in front of a log fire with some of the best coffee and amazing food, stay all day you'll be welcome 🤗 for those who need a work break there are some sockets and highly recommended for peace and creative time for reflecting and inspiring new work. For anyone wanting a special event these are beautiful here, we've held adult celebrations including birthday and baby showers and all have been supported, reserved and just perfect xXx Thank you for all the special memories we've shared over the years, they are cherished and look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
