FAQ
When are sessions available?
At the moment we do not have any available sessions. Please follow us on Facebook to find out when our waiting list reopens.
Are the sessions group sessions?
Yes, the sessions are generally group sessions of between 6 and 8. If numbers exceed 8 there are generally two instructors for the group.
Where are the lessons located?
Summerfield Stables operates from two sites: our main site at Brookwood Avenue and a satellite location at Solihull Riding Club. Our team will allocate riders to each site based on their ability, needs and size.
Our Brookwood Avenue site can only accommodate riders up to 10 stone. Our Solihull site can accommodate riders up to 13 stone.
Can I book for private sessions?
Private sessions are at an extra cost and are not covered by these packages. We do not generally book private sessions unless they are needed due to disability, specific requirement (eg loss of confidence after a fall) or a young person having an exam booked. This is because we wish to keep those available for those who really need them. Please contact us for bespoke pricing options.
How are payments made?
Payments are made via our online system ECPro. You will need to set up an account with us and you will be sent a link to enter your payment details.
How do I cancel my membership?
Memberships can be cancelled via your ECPro profile. Please note, clients are responsible for cancelling their own memberships.
Until a membership has been cancelled through EC Pro, membership fees will continue to be charged and any missed sessions will be managed in accordance with our session cancellation policy. Refunds will not normally be provided for non-attendance where a membership remains active. This is because membership places are limited and reserved for the member until the membership is cancelled.
What if I can’t make a session?
Please contact the office with as much advance notice as possible so our instructors can effectively plan our ponies workloads. As Summerfield Stables operates on a membership basis, refunds are not provided for participant cancellation or non-attendance. We offer two catch-up slots per calendar year to our clients; if you miss more than two sessions, unfortunately we will not be able to offer further catch ups or credits. This helps ensure that we are able to keep our prices low.
If a session is cancelled by Summerfield Stables, we will rebook this within a month or to the nearest school holidays in some cases.
What if I am late for a group lesson?
For riding lessons, riders arriving more than 5 minutes after the lesson has started will not be able to join a group lesson. This is to protect the welfare of our horses and ensure the quality and safety of the lesson for all participants. We are unable to offer catch-ups or refunds for late arrivals.
Can I cancel over the winter and restart when the weather is better?
We have many children and parents who are willing to turn up summer and winter so please don't expect to be able to cancel memberships in the winter and restart in the spring as we must fill the place for financial stability. We also find that riders make a lot of progress in the winter (we tend to do a lot of faster work to keep riders warm) so riders who stop over winter months tend to progress much slower than their peers.
We strongly believe in the quote from Alfred Wainwright 'there is no such thing as bad weather- only unsuitable clothing'. We keep spare coats at the field for children to borrow if they do not have suitable waterproofs but a good coat is a good investment.
What if I am unable to ride due to injury?
Please contact us to discuss your specific circumstances.
Can I increase the membership for a couple of months and then return to my original membership?
Yes this is possible provided we have space and may be a good idea if preparing for an exam or if working on a specific target such as learning to canter.
Can I book one off sessions?
Currently we do not have any availability for one off sessions unless for training at BHS stage 2 or above.
