A very beautiful location on farm and by sea. My son has been attending the last 6 years and loves it much. The team, Lisa Dandy, is very specialist in therapeutic service. Also, Tina and Naomi. Well worth a visit, highly recommend for horse riding and for kiddies, yound teenagers and adults Therapeutic service. Barbara.
Outstanding riding school. I booked in for a lesson and was looked after so well by Lisa and Naomi. It is a beautiful location, their horses are just the sweetest, I had Paddy an absolute dote. I’ll definitely be back and thanks so much.
This farm is AMAZING!! I was visiting Dublin and decided last minute I’d like to go ride while I was here. Lisa and her team were so kind and welcoming and squeezed me in. The horse I rode, Evan, was so beautiful and kind and all their horses were well behaved and clearly loved and taken care of. Jesse led our trek and did amazing and made sure everyone was comfortable. Truly an unforgettable experience surrounded by kind and caring horse people and lovely horses. Since I was visiting they even had boots and a hat I could wear which was perfect. Though I am an experienced rider, their horses and team would be perfect for all levels and ages.This is the place if you’re looking for a lovely ride through the country or beach!
This place was so awesome! The horses are well taken care of, the trek was so fun and we had a lot of different settings, and the instruction was genuine and fun 🤩
Magical place for hippotherapy. Amazing staff and such a peaceful environment. Our daughter absolutely loves it and so do I! Thanks again to all the team and especially Vera who brings Julie out for her hippotherapy with Barney. She is so attentive with Julie
