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.

What to wear
Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.
A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
