Riding weekends in Ireland

[Twiglet]

Hello all, has anyone done a riding weekend in Ireland?
Just want to do some good trail riding on decent horses, preferably on a beach or two at some point.....

I'm a bit of a wimp, so don't want anything with too heavy an emphasis on cross country - would rather decent scenery and opportunities for fast work on forward going sane horses!

Will be flying from Stansted into any Ryanair/Easyjet destination!

you need to contact the irish horse board but think if you do web search on horse holidays in co donegal you will find one. i did an article about it for them but cant find it now, they have a booklet with loads places in it. dress warm though because let me tell you the winds are foerce even when the weather good!!

OmG, I was just about to ask about the west coast as my ex-riding instructor from about 15yrs ago works at a place that's as far west as you can go in Ireland!

Any website links for the one you recommend Snowflake?
