We had a great riding holiday in Ireland and we were sad to leave the premises, the horses, the dogs, the staff and the Irish.
Can you once again warmly thank Nicola for her welcome, her work (God knows if she has any!!!) and her dedication. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for entrusting me with her pony Tierney: a great Connemara !! Voluntary, very dynamic, sure feet, always ok. How sad to leave him !
Lunch a little "light" for us French ah ah. Our room was nice with a view of the horse boxes. Very nice place, calm, relaxing, rejuvenating
A great stay, wonderful weather, well-maintained and well-maintained horses, very friendly staff. The farm is a relaxing place and very well decorated by Nicola. Beautiful walks on horseback and on foot. The car was a plus for visiting the surroundings: splendid forests and castles to visit. We warmly thank Nicola and Bertie for their welcome and their work ! We can't wait to go back...
What happiness !!
Exceptional, authentic, good horses, the guides were very good. I've had a very, very good week.
I rode Colleen, Irish cob. Really a good mare well chosen for my level.
Very good comfort, very good food !
