Horse Riding in Ireland

The magical charm of the Emerald Isle makes Ireland an ideal destination for horse riding. The Irish are rightly proud of their fine horses. Ireland has a wide variety of riding choices from jumping to trail riding. Many riding centres offer trail riding and trekking along woodland trails, deserted beaches, country lanes and mountain routes. 

The rural countryside with its stone walls, green fields and rolling hills is very pleasant to explore trail riding in company with a good horse. There are miles and miles of open beach which are ideal for a gallop and the horses seem to love it. Of course the rich history of the country is everywhere to be seen dating back to very early times of St. Patrick.
