The Center consists of two outdoor arenas, a large indoor arena, three complete cross country courses and many horses. Accommodations are at a four-star hotel.
The standard course consists of six nights and five days of riding (approximately 18 hours). Nine hours of riding will be training in small groups of three to four riders. The other nine hours will be spent hacking in the surrounding countryside on the Wicklow Trail to improve your balance and just have a great time using what you have learned.
Riders wishing a more intense training experience may select the intensive course. This consists of eighteen hours of training in small groups. Emphasis is placed on flat work, dressage, show jumping and cross country jumping. Instruction is provided by Grainne Sugars and her senior instructors. Grainne is coach of Ireland's junior team and is a former member of the Irish Equestrian Team. All instructors are British Horse Society certified and have competed nationally. Guests may also participate in lectures on stable management, equitation or horse care.
