About this yard

Coloured Cob Trekking Centre is based at Bank House Farm near Creswell, Worksop, a historically rich setting in buildings dating to 1610, immediately adjacent to the archaeological beauty spot of Creswell Crags. The 5-star licensed, ABRS Highly Commended centre sits on 35 acres with direct access to bridleways leading into Clumber Park Forest, and its signature pony trekking on coloured cobs ranges from introductory rides to advanced four-hour forest treks. Beyond trekking, a purpose-built school delivers riding lessons from beginner to advanced level, a mini cross-country course is on site, and the centre also offers carriage driving, pony parties, disabled horse riding, and hen-party experiences. NHS therapeutic riding referrals are accepted, and the centre serves a wide catchment including Worksop, Mansfield, Chesterfield, Sheffield, and Nottingham. The combination of heritage character, forest access, and diverse activities makes it one of the more memorable equestrian venues in the East Midlands. The venue also hosts a Riding for the Disabled Association group.
