What riders say about Chester stables

Chester Riding Club

I was really nervous starting lessons again, after not riding for about 10 years. But, I felt that my experience today was absolutely wonderful. Julia was really fantastic at giving reminders on proper body mechanics on horseback, and she was a genuinely positive person.

★★★★★ Molly, Aug 2020

Tranquillity Farm Ricci and Stephanie Desiderio

My daughter has been riding here for over a year and she loves it. She looks forward to her lesson and she would ride every day if she could. Ricci and Stephanie give great lessons. I would highly recommend this place.

★★★★★ Vlora, Nov 2019

Hope's Promise

This is a wonderful organization. The owner, Maureen, is a lovely person and so very passionate about what she does. Her horses are incredible, both the big ones and the miniatures. The therapy horse program at Hope's Promise changes lives.
