Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend somewhere to go Horse Riding in Limerck I have not done it in years and the fiancee has never done it thought it might be a little romantic so any suggestion where would be best.

I was going to suggest on of the more colourful housing estates around the city but Billy would probably be in with a lengthy ban on that.

These are probably what you are looking for:

Crecora Equestrian Centre
Crecora
Co Limerick
(061) 355721

Clonshire Equestrian Centre
Clonshire Adare
Co Limerick
(061) 396770

Tried a place behind pizza hut on the childers road. Was not impressed.
They chased me out with slash hooks!
Would not go again.

How much does it cost though I am on a budget

Roughly €25 each for an hour , on a ride out if ye have a bit of experience . Thats in Clonshire and the info is from my daughter who practically lives out there and still when I ask how much she says " roughly , I'm not sure " .

I go to Clonshire every week. The facilities are excellent - their cross-country course is magnificent! The instructors are great and - a huge factor for me - the horses are really well taken care of. I couldn't recommend it more.

It's €27 for an hour-long lesson. If your fiancé hasn't been horse riding before and it's been a long time since you were in the saddle, then you'll need some semi-private lessons to begin with. Give them a call and speak to Tess in the office.

There are classes on Saturday mornings but not on Sundays as far as I know.

If you are out Corbally or Ardnacrusha or anywhere near clare then I would recommend woodfield equestrian centre in Broadford Co. Clare. 12 miles from the city centre.
Ask for Sharon

Great facilities and good rates. They also do scenic hill treks

AIRE approved -Open 7 days per week

Awwwwww isnt it great to see romance is still alive

When I was in my teens (way back when) I learned outside in Clarina too. Mary McCarthy was the woman's name - not sure if she's still there or not, but the kids learned outside in Clonlara and they go to Danganelly too - but that's in Clare.

Have a lovely day!

Ah finally a happy ending on boards.....

Did they have pizza like the other place???

I suggest you settle for the happy ending as a lot of people are lucky this thread came to my attention now and not a few days ago.
