The Chestnut Stables

Welcome to The Chestnut Stables, a family-run horse riding school located on the outskirts of Kings Lynn in New Zealand. Established in the late 1980s, we have been providing high-quality tuition for riders of all abilities for over 30 years.

At The Chestnut Stables, we pride ourselves on our diverse range of ponies and horses, which enables us to cater to riders as young as 2 years old. Our team is dedicated to ensuring the safety and enjoyment of every rider, whether they are beginners or experienced equestrians.

We offer a variety of lesson types to suit individual needs and goals. For those new to horse riding, we provide assessment and induction lessons, as well as one-off riding experiences to get a taste of this exciting sport. Private lessons are available for riders who prefer one-on-one instruction, while group lessons offer a fun and social learning environment.

In addition to riding lessons, we also offer hacking sessions for riders to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside. Our stable management lessons provide a comprehensive understanding of horse care and maintenance. For our littlest riders, we have a Toddler Trot programme designed to introduce them to the joy of horse riding at a young age.

The Chestnut Stables is not just a place for lessons, but also a hub for equestrian events and activities. From pony parties for birthdays to pony camps during school holidays, we offer a range of exciting events for riders of all ages.

We are proud to be fully insured and licenced, with a 5-star rating issued by the Borough Council of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk, ensuring the highest standards of safety and professionalism.

To make booking and managing your lessons easier, we have an online system where you can easily book, rebook, or cancel your sessions. If you're interested in our courses, we offer Learn 2 Ride courses for children, teenagers, and adults, starting from only 198, which includes safety equipment hire. Our courses include riding sessions as well as horse/pony care sessions to provide a comprehensive learning experience. We have new course intakes each half-term, with children/teen courses held on Saturdays and adult courses held on Tuesday evenings.

If you're looking for a gift for a horse lover, we also offer gift vouchers for purchase on our website.

We invite you to join us at The Chestnut Stables and experience the joy of horse riding in a safe and friendly environment. Please feel free to contact us for any inquiries or to book a lesson. We look forward to seeing you soon!
