Horse
Riding Ireland - Sligo and Donegal
The Horse Holiday Farm is situated in the most beautiful and untouched
area of the Green Island - directly on the North West Atlantic
coastline.
Here you will find the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the
golden beaches, the green fields, the mountains and the clear
waters of the streams and mountain lakes.
From Horse Holiday Farm you can ride left and right along miles
of sandy beaches.
You can 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".
The
Horses:
The horse is the unique element of this holiday.
Our horse will be yours for at least a week or for as long as
you wish to stay.
Our horses are mainly Irish Hunters. We have a few Connemara ponies,
they range in height from 14.2 h.h. to 17 h.h. They are unspoilt
and enjoy a fresh gallop over miles of beaches.
We have horses to suit all abilities of rider. They are well mannered
and experienced and very sure-footed.
Riding
by the Sea:
From Horse Holiday Farm you can ride left and right along
miles of sandy beaches. 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. As an individual or in a group, you
will have an unforgettable holiday with lots of adventure, fun
and relaxation.
For less experience 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.

Donegal
Trail*:
Emerald
Isle - Land of colourful rainbows. In the North West corner of
Ireland: Donegal, the wildest and most romantic of all Irish counties.
Its austere melancholy is unforgettable! Setting off from the
Horse Holiday Farm, riders will discover this region and all its
beauty.
Look at the pattern of grey stone walls around the green meadows,
pass by dark blue lakes, ride through boggy hills and valleys
and across chocolate brown marshland. Ride along rugged coastline,
rocky cliffs and on miles of sandy beaches stretching towards
the horizon. Unforgettable highlight: the crashing gallop across
the white sands.
Our trails lead you over low hills, through remote mountain areas
and across vast boglands. They are exciting and relaxing in all
kinds of weather, in rain, wind or sunshine. Anything can happen;
the Irish weather is full of surprises.
Contact
to the local people in Ireland is easy; the people are open and
very friendly. Irish people love horses very much and they like
to listen to the stories their visitors tell them. You will enjoy
their hospitality.
