Chester Riding Club

Horseback riding schools rarely feel like a local staple, yet Chester has one right along the main road. Chester Riding Club offers lessons, trail rides, and boarding without the usual country-club pretense. The facility sits at 80 US-206, a straight shot from the center of town where the pavement gives way to rolling pastures. Riders of all ages can try private sessions, group clinics, or seasonal camps—each designed to match skill level rather than impose a rigid curriculum. Those who prefer to keep their boots on the ground can still drop by for occasional pony parties or community events that bring the neighborhood together.

Booking a lesson or checking availability is simple; a quick call to (908) 879-0578 usually secures a spot within the week. The area around Chester lends itself to open-air activities, and the club’s location makes it easy to pair a morning ride with a stop at a nearby farm stand or café.
