Horse Riding in the Galway Gaeltacht
One of the most enjoyable ways of seeing the Connemara landscape,
home of the Connemara Pony, is on horseback. Revel in the varied
landscape of dramatic mountains, expansive lakes, majestic rivers,
small fields surrounded by grey dry stone walls, beaches, and
breathe in the crystal clear air while guiding your mount through the
Galway Gaeltacht.
The following horse-riding centres listed are approved by AIRE the
Association of Irish Riding Establishments and operate in and around
the Galway Gaeltacht.
Claregalway Equestrian Centre
This centre is set on 7 hectares of typical Galway farmland and
offers an exciting cross country course and a mix of disciplines to
suit all abilities. There is a fine indoor arena and students are
prepared for the BHS examinations. Accommodation is provided in
the farmhouse and the stables also provide a large gallery with
canteen facilities.
