Stabling tips
What is the Silverwood stabling like?
The outdoor stabling complex has 160 stalls. Each aisle includes convenient watering and lights. Stalls all have sliding doors and individual turn down windows so your horse can look out.
Larger permanent stalls may be available in the main barn. If you pay for the larger stall and it is not available, you will be refunded the difference and be assigned to the complex.
We cannot guarantee empty stalls next to or behind stallions.
Tack stalls are available in most cases.
Can I move my horse next to my friends if stabled in another aisle?
Please do not change your assigned stall location without talking to Silverwood management unless it is with-in your group. Be mindful that if you have a Mare we have made sure she is not behind a stallion. If you move your horse you need to check the other horse around her.

If you are coming with a group PLEASE use ONE name. For example: pick a farm name or one person or horse. Have everyone in the group specify this same name.
