Sue and Dan Foley are among the best instructors in Ireland. Dan has successfully brought on numerous young horses through the Show Jumping ranks to National level, as well as enjoying considerable success in the eventing field. Sue is an accomplished competitor and is a British Horse Society certified instructor. Sue is also a champion hunter competitor and has won at the famous Dublin Horse Show.
Sue and Dan run an intensive training program that accents individual attention and a relaxed atmosphere. Riders should expect to spend three hours or more each day riding on the flat and over the stadium, hunt, cross country and equitation fences and natural obstacles. In addition to your instruction, the five day program can include several hacks in the surrounding countryside to improve balance, pace control and eye for distances. Sue and Dan believe strongly that riding in a ring is just not enough to develop a capable and stylish rider.
An afternoon off is built into the schedule so you may have some time to yourself. Cross Country International, Corp. can advise you on a wide variety of things to do with your free time. There are local hunt kennels, tack shops, hunt clothes tailors, great pubs, historic sights, castles and some of the most beautiful country in the world.
Accommodations at the famous Dunraven Arms Hotel are comfortable and modern, with private bathrooms. The food is excellent. After several hours of riding each day, it will taste even better.
The Hunt Seat Training Program in Ireland is designed for riders who want to improve their hunt seat riding and jumping. Riders will have the opportunity to ride on the flat, and to jump show jumping obstacles and natural obstacles. Riders will also be able to hack out on the grounds surrounding Clonshire Equestrian Center. This is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful Irish countryside and your horse.
Accommodations are at the Dunraven Arms Hotel. The hotel is renowned as one of the epicenters of equestrian life in Ireland. The bar at Dunraven Arms Hotel is a meeting place after a day of fox hunting and a favorite of the local equestrian community. The hotel has a full sized indoor swimming pool and a complete health center. Massages and other therapeutic treatments can be arranged.
The Hotel and Clonshire Equestrian Center are located in and outside of Adare, County Limerick. Adare is considered one of Ireland's prettiest villages. A walk down the main street reveals a quaint park with a stream running through it. Many of the buildings along the road have thatched roofs and are painted in bright colors.
