Have you ever wanted to partner a seasoned
three-day event horse over a challenging cross-country course
or ride a dressage test on a horse schooled to Grand Prix
level? Are you a showjumping rider wishing to improve your
technique? Maybe you fancy learning the sport of polo, or
you could simply wish to enjoy a hack through the countryside.
Whatever your particular interest, we guarantee that you will
find it on this at the Clonshire Equestrian & Polo
Centre in Adare.
Top class tuition and individual attention
from the fully qualified Clonshire instructors ensure that
you will learn much from your week. Sue and Dan Foley, the
managers of the centre, have a wealth of competitive experience
behind them. Dan has had considerable experience in the eventing
field and has produced showjumpers to national level while
Sue has competed show hunters su ccessfully at Dublin show.
The venue also for showjumping leagues throughout
the winter and summer, as well as the major international
show in October, Clonshire offers training facilities which
are second to none. An international standard indoor arena
ensures that inclement weather will not affect your riding
for the day. The indoor seating will enable you to watch and
learn from other lessons going on, if you wish. As it is used
for polo practice and training, the outdoor arena is immense.
Well maintained surfaces in both arenas are perfect for riding
on, therefore helping the horses achieve what is asked of
them.
You
will be mounted on a horse suited to your riding ability and
the itinerary can be specifically designed to focus on your
main area of interest, if you wish. Clonshire has around sixty
horses of various levels. While some are obviously very suitable
for the beginner as they are extremely reliable and 'bombproof',
the more experienced rider will be allocated a horse to perform
at the level required.
