“We booked a horse trek for ourselves and two year old daughter whilst on holiday. She has been excited for it for months, but we were a bit concerned as she has a tendency to let nerves get the better of her and refuse to do things at the last minute. The team were absolutely fantastic with her. They made her feel very confident and she was straight up on the horse with no bother. She absolutely loved the ride (as did we) and has not stopped talking about it since. The trek was also through the stunning Cresswell Crags which was amazing to see. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely be booking to ride again!”

“We went for a half hour trekking experience on Christmas Eve. The staff were lovely and went above and beyond to make sure us nervous nellies were happy. The horses were very tame and enjoyed their walk. The scenery was beautiful. Best part of our holiday.”

“We did the 1hr trek through Forrest Holidays. The centre was brilliantly organised despite there being a lot going on at the same time. They accommodated riders and beginners on our trek and the scenery was beautiful. They have clearly thought about what would be the most memorable experience as many people will be doing this on our holidays (as we were). The best pony trek we have done. The team are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Cannot recommend enough.”
