We organise everything. Superb horses, superior facilities, quality accommodation, and, of course, adventurous rides through the magnificent Irish countryside.

So all you have to do, is enjoy your time with us whilst experiencing the
riding holiday of a life time!

What level of riding ability is required to participate in a Trek?
Our One-Hour trek is intended for Beginner and Novice riders, but riders with more experience are more than welcome. The guide will cater the trek to the riders as much as possible.
Two-Hour, Half-Day and Full-Day Treks are suitable for Intermediate and Advanced riders only.

How do I judge my riding ability?
Here are some guidelines to help you judge your riding ability:
Beginner: A rider with little or no experience.
Novice: A rider who is comfortable and in control at the walk and/or trot but has limited experience trotting and/or cantering.
Intermediate: A rider who is confident and in control in all paces (including posting trots, two point canters and gallops), but does not ride regularly.
Strong Intermediate: An intermediate rider who is currently riding regularly and is comfortable in the saddle for at least 6 hours per day.
Advanced: All of the above plus the ability to handle a spirited horse in open country.

Do I need to bring my own equipment?
No. We have our own tack, which is suited to the type of riding you will be doing, for you to ride in. You may bring your own riding helmet and boots, but if you do not own your own gear or if you do not want to travel with it, we provide riding helmets and boots for your use.

What should I pack for a riding holiday?
First of all, you should pack for comfort. You will be happier in clothes that you are comfortable wearing. For example, do not buy new boots or riding helmet for your trek as they will probably be uncomfortable until they are broken in.
Cloths you bring to ride in should include: Breeches/jodhpurs, Riding or paddock boots, Chaps or half chaps (for paddock boots), Riding helmet (Required), and Riding gloves
Other cloths you bring should include:Long and short-sleeved shirts, Warm sweaters/light jacket, Smart casual evening attire, and Comfortable shoes.
Other things you might want to bring are: Rain gear (jacket and pants), Sunglasses, Sunscreen, Insect repellent, Personal medications, Adhesive bandages for blisters, Waist pouch for personal items, Camera/film, Small backpack (optional) and a Seat saver (optional).

Are there age restrictions?
Yes. We cannot accommodate children under 12.

Are there weight restrictions?
Yes, 220 lbs. If you are fit and not overweight, you will be safer, ride better and you and your horse will enjoy yourselves more.

I am a Western rider. Can I do a ride with English tack?
Probably. While good riding is much the same on any saddle, not all Western riders are comfortable in an English saddle right away. Western riders are generally not used to posting, and six hours of sitting trot usually turns out to be too much for even the most dedicated rider to handle. It does not take long to get the knack of, and a few lessons in an English saddle before you begin your Trek should solve any problems.

Do treks go out rain or shine?
Yes. We ride in almost all weather conditions. We have rain gear available if you should require it.
