How to book

Booking lessons at Silvermere is simple and quick as we use  custom made riding centre software that helps us to manage the day to day running of the yard and lessons. Please note that bookings close 30 hours before the lesson start time. 

Signing up as a new client

You will need to register on our booking system. We will allocate a provisional grade and you will then be able to book an assessment lesson, or the children’s lead rein lesson for beginner children aged 6-12 and our mini lead rein lessons suitable for 4-7 year old riders. 

Weight limit:

We haver lowered our weight limit to 80kg for new clients. If you are between 80-88kg please get in touch to be added to a weight list for when we can start these lessons again, we are unable to say when this will be. 

 

We have a reception and lecture room available whilst you’re on site

All new clients

As a New Client you will be asked to arrive 10 minutes early for your first lesson. This is so we can kit you out with hat and boots.

  • We recomend all clients to have thier own equipment at the moment - but you can borrow hats and boots for the first couple of lessons
  • Please book only one lesson before we assess your level
  • Please note we have a weight limit of 12 stone  

The assessment lesson is on a one to one basis for half an hour and let’s our qualified instructor assess your abilities as well as recommend a suitable pathway within our existing lesson plans. If you are looking to book a hack or join a group without having been for previous lessons with us, we will need you to attend an assessment first.

 

Beginner children

We ask that all new children, especially the little ones start off on our lead rein lessons that are half hour groups held in our indoor arena at weekends only. This gives the children a better start to developing and understanding the fundamentals. we are also able to offer private lessons for children as well now, if they would like that individual attention. 

Beginner adults

After your assessment, we’ll generally put you onto a private lesson plan as this will get you onto the lunge which will help develop your balance and seat before trying to gain control of the horse.

 

 All cancelations before 48hours before the lesson – credit is applied to your account so you can rebook. All cancelations less than 48hours before the lesson are charged at full price.

 

If you would like a refund please be aware we charge a 10% admin fee.

Once your assessment lesson is done

It’s time to sit back, think about how much fun you’ve had and have a coffee!
