| Introduction |
|
Cheston is one of the largest Equestrian centres in Devon, BHS Approved, Local Authority Licensed and a registered Pony Club Centre, providing riding instruction for all levels, ages and abilities on a variety of well schooled horses and ponies, together with a full programme of competitions, clinics and training days. We are within Dartmoor National Park, and can provide escorted lane and Moor rides, but we are NOT a trecking centre so a reasonable level of competence is required for the moor rides.
