Our Philosophy: Welfare First, Always

We are proud to be known as Chester’s trusted ethical riding school.
Every horse in our care is treated with compassion, patience, and respect. We follow positive, welfare-focused training methods and the classical principles of balance, clarity, and harmony.

We believe that:

• A relaxed horse learns best

• Pressure-free teaching builds true confidence

• Riders progress faster when they feel safe, supported, and listened to

This approach creates lessons that are calm, enjoyable, and genuinely transformative—for beginner riders, returning adults, nervous riders, and children.

What Makes TopLine Equine Different

TopLine Equine stands out because we are more than just a riding school. We are a community focused on:

• Evidence-based riding and equitation science principles

• Kind, correct, and classical training

• Professional instruction with a personalised approach

• Building confidence step by step

• Matching each rider to the right horse for their learning style

• Teaching groundwork, flatwork, and horsemanship—not just riding

Our horses are carefully selected for their temperament and trained to be patient, willing, and comfortable with beginner and developing riders.

• building confidence

• improving balance and posture

• learning classical principles

• preparing for competitions

We take pride in creating an environment where riders feel welcome, supported, and encouraged—without pressure or judgement.
