Chessington Equestrian Centre
About this yard
Chessington Equestrian Centre has been running from Clayton Road since 1988 and is well placed for south-west London and northern Surrey. The centre runs private lessons for beginner adults and children from age 7, and group lessons in walk/trot/canter or walk/trot only formats, alongside dedicated jump lessons. A recently resurfaced floodlit 60 x 40 outdoor school sits alongside a second outdoor and a large jump school (also floodlit), with an indoor school covering wet weather.
