TopLine Equine, Chester’s Ethical Riding School
At TopLine Equine, we believe horse riding should be kind, calm, and genuinely educational—for both the rider and the horse. Based in the peaceful village of Mollington, Chester, our riding school was founded with one clear mission:
to create a place where people can learn to ride in a supportive environment that prioritises horse welfare, rider confidence, and classical, ethical horsemanship.
About Us
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.
