Welcome to our highly recommended English Riding program at Chestnut Hill. We split our riders abilities into 5 levels;Beginner,Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Champion. All our riders will start off at the first level beginner, and will be promoted as the take lessons with their instructor Kelly. Each rider is assigned a horse, for their level. Lessons are taken in roleplay format through neomail. Lessons will mostly take 1 session unless they exceed 50 neomails in which case they will be divided into two parts.
