Recommend me a place to start riding again please

Medme

Hi All,

I've been out of the saddle for about 4 years, gave up to travel, then work, study etcetc just got in the way. Before this I had grown up with my own horses, hunting, pony club, eventing, the lot! The time has come to get back into it, I miss it toooooooo much. I dont have horsey contacts in Dublin so i need a steer pls. I'm living in Dublin but have a car so wicklow is easy. I'd like to go daytime, preferably somewhere that rides out rather than just around in circles.
Has anyone any suggestions?

Thanks a mill

My cousin has a riding school/livery yard close to enfield... plenty of hacking, showjumping arena etc... if you like pm me and ill give you her number. Te local hunt is the kildares/tara harriers but we have a charity ride every sunday from a different village in kildare, It raises money for charity

Bohernabreena has moved premises to Rathfarnham Equestrian, (im a livery there) so new facilities - indoor/outdoor xc course and loads of rideouts - hellfire and masseys wood nearby. Lessons v reasonably priced and great horses, private lessons too catering for higher lessons and dedicated adult lessons. They also take schoolies to shows - Boswell etc - so opportunity to do a bit of competing! Pm'd you the owner's number!

Can I just remind posters not to send unsolicited PMs to other users as it can be deemed as spam. Instead, post in the thread saying you can PM details to the OP if desired, and if/when the OP asks for the details, then send the PM.

Hey guys, in the same situation as the OP. Been for a few lessons in a school out around ticknock. Great horses and instructors but very pricey. Any recommendations would be appreciated

Hey flowers123, Hampton Lodge is only down the road from me. Do you know if they do adult lessons? Have they any larger rides as I'm 6'1 and don't really want my feet dragging. Thanks

Hey I'm a big 6ft myself and they have horses ranging from 13hh right up to 16.3hh in the riding school. I think Suzanne is the person you need to talk with this is the number I have in my phone for hampton lodge. (087) 063 2114 . Hope this help. :-)
