Welcome

Welcome to Cheston! We are proud to be a Local Authority 5 star licensed and BHS Highly Commended Centre with a reputation of delivering excellence in everything we do! Our home page will give you a summary of everything we offer and individual pages will give you more detail.  We believe we are one of the best centres in the South West with superb facilities and something for almost everyone to enjoy.

Please note: All fee based riding, lessons, hire and loan must, by law, hold a licence as well as correct business permissions.  Our Local Authority Licence No is : MAU007063.  Using a law abiding approved and inspected Centre gives you peace of mind as everything we do is ‘proper’ from how we manage our horses to how we look after our staff and clients.

Everyone is welcome to ride at Cheston. We can offer something to suit just about every equine enthusiast from Holiday Activity Days for children, beginner and intermediate lessons to dressage or jump coaching for advanced riders! We really enjoy progressing riders from scratch to expert; whether a ‘Rusty Returner’ adult rider or beginner child, and we love to take experienced riders on Dartmoor. Please do check our latest weight limits as this may change with our horses.

We have an excellent and varied team of riding school horses from steady cobs to sport horses and we welcome many riders who bring their own horse to train with us. Our facilities are super and our riding out on Dartmoor is exceptional for the capable canter rider looking for varied faster hacking.
