| Beginners, Intermediate and Competition Riders Even those who have not ridden for a while, will all enjoy the stay. Instruction is pupil centred and designed to progress the rider on from his/her present level. Following assessment you will be offered a programme of lessons and pleasure riding. | |||||||||||||||||
| Jumping - both showjumping and cross country - is the Centre's specialty. Beginners quickly become confident, novices make rapid progress, and intermediate and open riders learn the finer points. We have an unaffiliated show most weeks at the equestrian centre (normally on Fridays) in which our guests are welcome to participate as part of their holiday programme. Guests may also register with the Show Jumping Association and take part in official Showjumping competitions. During the summer there are two to three registered shows each week in the locality and we travel to many of them. Cost, approx. €60 - €90 | |||||||||||||||||

Accommodation Most of the guests choose the comfortable accommodation and informal setting at the Equestrian Centre, close to the horses and the action. Teenager will be offered full board. Airport Transport from Dublin airport |
