Silverdown Stables sits on the edge of Harwell Village in Oxfordshire, close to Didcot, and operates as a BHS Approved livery yard. The yard has been run solely as a livery operation since January 2004, and lessons are offered exclusively to liveries rather than to the general public. Instruction is provided by a qualified BHSAI instructor, giving liveries a structured pathway for progression within the yard.
Riders based at the yard can make use of both an indoor arena and an outdoor arena, with floodlighting extending usable hours through the darker months. Stabling is provided for up to 18 horses, alongside paddocks for turnout. The combination of indoor and outdoor facilities means work can continue in most weather conditions, and hacking is available directly from the yard for those who want to take their horses out on local routes.
Disciplines on site centre on dressage, hacking and show jumping, so liveries have a reasonable spread of schooling options without needing to travel. A coffee room is available for riders between sessions, and there is dedicated parking for horseboxes and trailers, which is useful for those who arrive with their own transport or tow in for events.
The yard is listed on the British Horse Society approved register, confirming that it meets the BHS standards expected of an approved establishment. Silverdown Stables is located in Didcot, Oxfordshire, postcode OX11 0LU. Anyone interested in arranging livery or finding out more about the facilities should contact the yard directly for current availability and terms.
