Miles of Beaches - Riding by the Sea
From Horse Holiday Farm you can ride left and right along miles
of sandy beaches. You tan trek along the lanes of the hinterland
and mountains, waterfalls, lakes and historic castles and houses.
This is Yeat's country, from which the famous Irish poet drew
so much inspiration. His presence still lingers in Lissadell
House.
In Drumcliffe Churchyard pause to read his epitaph: "Cast
a cold eye on life and death. Horseman pass by".
Cross
Country Course
You can improve your riding skills on our Cross Country Course
of 10 miles and over 50 obstacles set on 400 acres. An experienced
guide will show - you around, but you are free at any time, to
ride as you please, before breakfast or at sunset.
Riding Skills
On the Riding by the Sea programme riders must be minimum intermediate
standard, this programme is also suited to very experienced riders.
On all programmes children must be over 12 years of age and good
riders and also must be capable of spending long hours in the
saddle.
Horses
We have horses to suit all abilities of rider.
They are well mannered and experienced and very sure-footed.
You and your horse will have plenty of time to get to know one
another.
**On arrival, we will match horse and rider.
**For experience riders:
Your Irish Hunter will take you at a leisurely amble if you wish
and he is also competent at galloping along the sand-dunes
and beaches or jumping the obstacles on the Cross-Country Course.
**For intermediate riders:
You will be given a horse which is safe and quiet in all respects.
You will have an experienced guide to ride with you where you
will find that your confidence will grow by the day.
You will have the opportunity to ride along the beautiful sandy
beaches and the little inland trails.
The horse is yours for the duration of your holiday, so you
may ride as you please each day. Wednesday is rest-day for the
horses. This will give you the opportunity to do some shopping
or tour the counties of Sligo and Donegal. As an individual or
in a group, you will have an unforgettable holiday with lots
of adventure, fun and relaxation.
