Facilities

Our plans and work to upgrade the facilities at Cheston Farm are now well underway.

Work has been completed (bar a few finishing touches) on the 50m by 30m indoor arena, the new facility boasts a new roof and a “Martin Collins” surface and has been in use since December 2008.

We have now completed the new outdoor arena, adjacent to the indoor. This will allow an extra schooling area for liveries, a second teaching area for the riding school and a warm up area for future competitions and events.

Work is now finished on the horse walker allowing an additional exercise option for livery and riding school horses.

Work on the paddocks and fencing is ongoing and in the not too distant future work will commence on the demolition of the current old cafe, replacing this with a new contemporary yet practical clubhouse facility complete with changing rooms, lecture/viewing area and outdoor decking area.

A cross country schooling area is a longer term plan and ultimately, a fun X-C course may be built around our 35 acre site. The old outdoor arena will continue to serve well as a winter turnout play pen if the winter weather makes the fields too nasty.

The arena facilities will be made available to hire out in parts or as a whole and we hope to have a membership scheme giving discounts to regular users.
