Riding Lessons in Wicklow

About
Riding lessons are a favourite for young kids who are passionate about horses, but we know that this passion doesn’t fade as you get older! We accept both children and adults as our riding lessons are suitable for riders of all levels and can be tailored to your requirements.

For adults, even if you’re totally inexperienced with horses, looking to try something new or something you’ve always dreamed of, we have a number of calm and experienced horses that are suitable and safe for beginner riders. Our experienced staff will take care of you every step of the way. Riding lessons can be a great way to get away from the stress of everyday life, get out into nature and come back feeling refreshed and renewed.

For children, riding a horse is a magical experience. Most children are drawn to animals and the opportunity to get so close and personal with horses is something they’ll never forget. From the sound of the horses hooves, to the smell of leather and the softness of the horse’s warm skin, this is a full immersion, sensory experience for your kids. For children under age 6, who are too young for lessons, we offer pony rides so that they don’t miss out.
