• Horse-riding for all levels

  

  The island of Ireland's countryside exerts a powerful hold on the imagination and its breathtaking beauty will never disappoint. Picture the verdant greens of the rolling Wicklow hills and valleys, the magnificent forested scenery of the Mourne Mountains or the deserted white sandy beaches of the West and North Antrim Coast – all from a perfectly placed position on horseback, of course!

  From horse-riding youth camps, English classes while you learn to trot, trekking, point-to-pointing or even cross-country, the idyllic landscapes around the island of Ireland have all you need for pure enjoyment. Even if you have no experience in the saddle, across the island you'll find a range of equestrian centres that are happy to take on beginners.

  Regardless of whether you're an old hand or a complete novice, you'll appreciate the comfort and hospitality of the accommodation on offer around the island. And at the end of the day, you can rest your weary bones in a cosy pub while swapping pony tales with your fellow travellers and locals alike.
