“Great lesson for our 5yo daughter, and great they teach them also about horses well being. Watch out for the car suspensions as the road to get there is not easy to navigate”

“A lovely riding school. It's a great shame that the horses are stabled next door to an asbestos dump created by Clearaway Services”

“I take regular lessons at Chessington, and the standard of training is excellent! They’ve brought me on from a person afraid to canter to coming 5th in a dressage test which includes canter! I’m over 70, and they are truly helping me fulfill my riding dreams!”
