Horse riding opportunities in Ireland are diverse and varied, and cater for all levels of rider – from beginners to seasoned equestrians.

In the areas of Connemara, Galway and Kerry, you will find some excellent coastal and hill trail riding.  These areas also abound with historic buildings, mountain ranges and long sandy beaches.

Here you can relax in 4-star comfort, explore the countryside on horse back, or embark on an exhilarating cross country ride on the estates own cross country course.

Ireland has a unique cultural identity – one that they strongly defend and uphold. Separated from the United Kingdom by a stretch of sea, this fiercely independent island nation has a population of slightly under 6 million.

With a strong and vibrant Celtic heritage, the Irish possess a flair for story telling, music and literature. They also possess a lust for life, undeniable friendliness and strong affection for their national drink – Guinness.

Tourists flock to Ireland every year to enjoy the delights of the green countryside and historical monuments.  Dublin, the capital, is also a very popular tourist destination – rich in literature, arts, and heritage.

Ireland has an average annual temperature in winter of around 9°C, whilst in the summer the average is around 20°C.  Known affectionately as the “Emerald Isle” Ireland does experience high rainfall (but that just adds to its magnificent greenery!).  Because of Ireland’s high latitude, in the height of summer you can expect up to 19 hours of sunlight a day; whilst in the winter expect as little as 9 hours.
