Horse Riding Lessons
Teaching Programme
Our instructors are all fully qualified and specialise in teaching children to ride. Children normally start off having half hour private lessons on the lunge. Once they can walk, trot, canter and jump a small jump and are confident, they join a group lesson for an hour. Usually children start off with one lesson a week, and lessons are split between lessons in the arena and out rides. If your child would like to progress faster, we recommend two or three lessons per week. Once your child has gained enough confidence and would like to start competing, the next step is to either Chartwell triple a riding school pony or buy your own which we will be happy to assist you with.
Adult Lessons
We do offer horse riding lessons for adults. Adult riding lessons are held on weekday mornings. No previous experience necessary!
Doubling, Tripling & Liveries
Chartwell Tripling
We offer Chartwell tripling, which means the children have all the benefits of owning a pony but without all the added fees. When you Chartwell triple a pony, you get to ride that same pony 3 days a week as well as getting to take the pony to shows.
Chartwell Doubling
This is similar to Tripling except you ride twice a week instead of three times and competitive Doublers may only compete at Inter-school shows and not all the outside shows. This is a good first step towards owning your own horse/pony as you can start out Doubling, move on to Tripling and then look at getting your own.
Liveries
When you get to a point where you would like to own your own pony we can assist you in finding the correct one and can stable it for you.
Stables Activities & Services
Training Shows
Training shows are held every six weeks. Everyone in the riding school has a chance to have fun and participate.
Pony Camps
Chartwell Stables hold regular pony camps during holidays where children get to ride twice a day. In between riding, they learn stable management and do crafts, swimming and games. Our pony camps have proven invaluable to our children. They don’t just learn how to ride, but they are taught how to care for their pony, look after tack and are taught theory.

- Easter Egg Hunts
- Clinics
