Hole Farm Trekking Centre
About this yard
Hole Farm Trekking Centre operates within Woodgate Valley Country Park in west Birmingham and is managed by Birmingham City Council. The centre holds BHS approval and offers guided trekking and pony riding for children and adults, using a string of well-schooled ponies and horses suited to beginners and nervous riders. The country park setting gives riders access to over 450 acres of semi-natural greenspace in the heart of the city, with woodland and meadow tracks providing a genuine countryside experience without leaving Birmingham. Pony rides for younger children and introductory lessons are available alongside the longer trekking routes.

A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
