Welcome to our Licensed and BHS Approved Riding Centre. Our super team of 25 horses and ponies vary in size from 13hh to 17hh and can help you enjoy riding whether a beginner or advanced rider.  The Cheston equine team can help you master the rising trot, have a first canter, gallop across Dartmoor, jump fences or perform dressage moves such as half pass and flying changes! What a team!

With a range of super instructors and their excellent tuition, you can reach all your riding goals and ambitions. Sophie Osborne (qualified to BHSII BHSSM) is owner/manager and heads up our great team of humans and horses and does her best to ensure you enjoy your riding.

What is Cheston’s approach to teaching? Horse and rider happiness and harmony!

 Our approach to teaching is based on quality, safety and detailed instruction: our ambition is to make you confdent and successful in the saddle and hone your skills to reach your best! We love riding goals, informal qualifcations or even a competition to aim for. We are popular with rusty adult riders, and regular committed child and teens as well as those who bring their own horse. Our yard is ideal for enjoyment of your leisure time with great facilities, an indoor and two outdoor arenas and our clubhouse/café for coffee and bacon sarnies! Our horses are all owned by the Centre, well loved, valued and appreciated! We have strict weight limits for horse welfare so you need to hop on the scales!
