Ireland Horseback Riding
We are busy planning our next set of film shoots for this spring. In May, we will head to Ireland to film two new episodes. We filmed our very first episode in Ireland and are excited to return to discover more riding opportunities, because there are A LOT in Ireland.
On our first film trip, we visited Clonshire Equestrian Centre outside of Adare, where Sue Foley (a champion hunter competitor who has won at the famous Dublin Horse Show), gave us some training tips. You can read about it here and watch a video clip on our homepage.
We also interviewed legendary horseman and Willie Leahy and visited the Dartfield Horse Museum to learn about Irish Sport Horses, Connemara Ponies and more.
Finally, we visited a small B&B, Ballycormac House, where John Lang took us trekking through Tipperary County and Ireland's lush green countryside.
Many of you have probably taken a trip to Ireland or know someone who has. If any of you have been to great riding destinations in Ireland, please let us know. Also, let us know if there are other places that you would like to see on Equitrekking.
For those of you who are new to the blog, please check out the destinations we have visited in the past months including: Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, the Georgia Coast, the Carolinas and Vermont. Happy Trails!

Have you thought about visiting Transylvania? Great riding, lovely scenery, and still many working horses. You'll be very welcome here.

Ireland will be great, and for Julian, I actually have looked into Transylvania. The historical and cultural aspects of riding there are of great interest to me. Thanks for the suggestions!
I did the Wicklow trail ride several years ago. It was very disappointing.
