Ireland, Adare - Riding camp with Stable Management

We are happy to present a high-quality ridning camp in the Limerick region, in Ireland. Here riding instructors are trained, eventing horses are trained, competed and sold and here is also a great ridning school.
During the summer, young people from all over the world will come here (when horseXplore was here to visit we met boys from France and China and girls from England, France and Spain).
Here you can ride a lot, three lessons per day consisting of hacks, jumping lessons, cross country jumping, dressage, flat work and gymkhana. Between the riding lessons  you will also have stable management. You stay and eat in the guesthouse on the farm. The week ends with various competitions. You will not want to go home.

Horses

The horses are Irish Sport Horses and Connemara Ponies, known worldwide for their excellent temperament and willingness to help riders improve their riding.
