Looking at the blurb they do paddock rides for under 7s, whether that means for the beginners trek you need to be at least 7 I'm not sure.
Also not sure how old Mia is

Definitely, it's horses not ponies.
If you're not a beginner you'd be at a different time, although you could always say you
are a beginner

We were looking at the Southern Softies, but think this will be nearer for us and quicker to get too

Hi Folks
We've had approval from the ranger for the day meet at £3 per bongo, obviously camping is separate. We have also had the offer of a forest trail tour suitable for Road vehicles. I'm waiting on an indication of costs for that but in the mean time who would like to go on the forest trail?
Thanks

Hi there
The camping is up to you. You can stay there or there are other sites in the area. It's not far from kingsbury C&CC site to Cannock.
I'm from south London originally and agree it's a long way

See this:

Off road trail looks to be £50 per vehicle - I think 12 vehicles are needed but a group discount is possible.
Any takers
PS Mountain Bikes are free...........
