About

Welcome to the Leweston Chedington Riding Academy Explore Leweston Leweston Life Equestrian Leweston Chedington Riding Academy is more than just a riding school and livery yard; it's a place where a passion for horses meets exceptional education.

Here, the country's top NSEA teams thrive, an understanding of horses is born and nurtured, and pupils are supported in pursuing their equestrian goals, whether this is learning to ride as a beginner, competing at prestigious competitions across the country, or building a career in the equine industry.

We believe in making equestrian sports accessible to all, from our youngest nursery pupils to those aspiring to build a career in the equine world. Our unique curriculum enhances academic excellence by integrating equitation from Year 5 to Year 8 and offering Level 3 qualifications in Sixth Form.

As home to the country's top NSEA team, we provide unparalleled opportunities for pupils to learn to ride and care for horses, develop their skills in all main disciplines under the guidance of expert coaches, and achieve qualifications that pave the way for a variety of careers or higher education.
