Welcoming experience - My daughter did a trek around creswell craggs for her birthday the walk was lovely and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. She has since moved here for her weekly lessons and again the staff were friendly and reassuring from the start checking in with her throughout the lesson to make sure she was ok. Communication was great and we loved that you can stand right near the lesson to observe. I have never been brave enough to ride myself but after being there for only one hour watching my daughter I would feel confident giving it ago.

Pony trekking experience - 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.

Lovely ponies, lovely ride. - 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.

Wonderful afternoon with beautiful horses - 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

Update to review left in August - 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.
