Current and Former Students
Over the past 25 years students have been coming to Chesterland with and without their own horse to learn about all aspects of horses and training. They see the daily routine of a World-class operation and learn what it takes to get to the top and stay there. Not only will students see all the behind the scenes, they will be expected to take an active role. As the relationship grows students will gain more and more responsibility and as their riding improves there are plenty of horses to ride and even compete. Students are encouraged to bring their own horse so the pair can share in this invaluable experience. Successful students of Chesterland have all made a mark on the international equestrian scene.

Some of the key areas that all students will gain experience:
  • Getting a horse fit properly to avoid injury
  • Training a young horse
  • Breaking the babies
  • Mucking
  • Grooming
  • Medication
  • Minor injury care
  • Farm maintenance
