I have included my review of this experience below which was left in August but just wanted to update it. It has now been 3 months since this riding experience took place however please be aware that if booked via Red Letter Days you don't get everything included as per advertised. Firstly it is not a buffet lunch, it is one sandwich and a drink. Secondly you do not get the framed photo. After numerous communication via phone and email with the stables I was promised the photo had been sent several times, however it was never received to this day. The riding experience itself was good however the promised extras leave a lot to be desired! REVIEW LEFT IN AUGUST 2023 Booked a half day horse riding experience for our Niece for her 18th birthday via the Red Letter Day Experience. She has never ridden before and was slightly nervous. She was allocated a horse called Faith who was very placid and good natured. First she had a half hour lesson in a field. The lady who took the lesson was very kind and within 15 minutes she felt confident enough to trot. Am sorry but didn’t get her name. She then had a break and had a bacon sandwich which was included in the price. My husband and I were able to purchase a sandwich and a drink at the same time and were able to sit outside and watch a riding lesson. She then went on an hours trek led by Anna who again was very friendly and kind. She took is down a country track which eventually led into Cresswell Crags. She was very chatty and she even stopped by the fields and pointed out other horses at the stables. We were able to walk along side for the whole trek and enjoy the lovely scenery. At the end she had some photos taken as part of the package which will be posted out to us. The whole experience lasted around 2.5 hours and went very smoothly. Our niece thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and felt safe the whole time. Every member of staff was very friendly and helpful from our arrival to our departure. The stables cater for riding of all abilities and age groups.

Beautiful location, super friendly staff, experienced and gentle horses. My husband and I had a fantastic time pony trekking, it was the first time either of us had been on a horse in years and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend.

We booked our 12 year old daughter onto a hack. Unfortunately the weather was terrible, but the staff remained friendly and welcoming. Our daughter had a lovely ride with Georgina, who was a great guide and was chatty and friendly. The lady who assessed our daughter before the ride was professional and the horses and ponies were beautiful and clearly well loved. All in all a very good experience and would definitely book again when in the area.

We had the most wonderful afternoon at Coloured Cobs, everything went so smoothly from the booking to coming along on the day, we had to rearrange our date as unfortunately had to go to funeral on the date of our original booking they were so kind rearranging for us. We did half an hour grooming and tacking up (grown up pony party :) ) and then went for a beautiful ride through Cresswell Crags, I rode the lovely Ranger who was so patient with me considering I haven't ridden for over 10 years, can't remember the name of my daughters pony but again a lovely ride. Big shout out to Gail who was brilliant with us and so kind, caring and patient with a novice like me. I still have the biggest grin on my face from a fantastic afternoon and we are planning to go back again soon, brilliant time had by us both

We were made to feel so welcome and were really looked after. A very personal experience. The trek was just for our family group and the team took care to match us carefully with horses. We have not ridden for years and some of us were nervous, within minutes we were safe and reassured. A team very focused on the well-being of both horse and customer. Very, very pleasant.

We visited for the first time today after enquiring about lessons for my little boy who has additional needs and receiving a quick and helpful response. The staff were so friendly and inclusive - my little boy is non-verbal - the lady on reception was chatting to him whilst I completed some forms and he ended up helping to put some helmets and vests away which was so lovely to see. He loved going for a ride and it was really nice chatting to Helen who was leading the horse. He had such a good time and we can’t wait to come back next week!

What a great first time experience. From the moment we arrived the welcome we received made us feel so relaxed. Very well organised and a special thank you to Anna and Harriet for leading us around and a lovely chatty time. John and Diana
