Features

Horse & Pony Trekking: Cannock Chase Trekking Centre offers horse and pony treks for all experience levels, allowing riders to enjoy the stunning scenery of Cannock Chase while learning or improving riding skills. The centre caters to beginners and experienced riders alike and has earned the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for 2025.
Paddock/Arena Pony Rides: Half-hour lead-rein pony rides around the grounds are suitable for children aged 4 to 10, including first-time riders and those with some experience. In poor weather, rides take place in the covered arena. Children under 10 with no experience must attend a paddock or arena assessment before booking a one-hour trek. Parents can relax in the Ranch Bistro, with opportunities for photos at the end of the session.
One-Hour Introductory Horse/Pony Trek: This trek is ideal for younger riders, first-time riders, and those returning to horse riding after a break. The ride includes walking and trotting, with the amount of trotting dependent on the group’s ability. Children under 10 with no experience must complete a pad: dock or arena ride assessment first.
Two-Hour Mixed-Ability Horse/Pony Trek: A longer trek suitable for all abilities. Beginners can learn to walk and trot, while more experienced riders may canter partway through the ride. This trek requires a degree of fitness and provides a more upbeat experience than the one-hour introductory ride.
Two-Hour Experienced Horse/Pony Trek: Designed for confident riders comfortable at walk, trot, and canter in open spaces. The trek covers varied and challenging terrain, with the pace adapted to the skills of the riders. Children who have not ridden before are required to complete a mixed-ability trek first.
Riding Lessons: Riding lessons in the covered arena offer opportunities to develop riding skills while enjoying views of the Staffordshire countryside. Six-week children’s group riding courses are available for ages 4+ (upper recommended age 10).
