Out in the cold on a bright February morning is no place for a woman of creature comforts like…read moremyself, but I'm willing to make an exception if that morning is spent at this excellent equestrian centre. Spacious, well maintained and with in-and-outdoor riding rings, this is the place to go for introductions, refreshers or Olympic-grade riding lessons. Each grouping is managed well by centre staff and experienced students -watching a group of under-tens take their first few trots around an indoor ring, I was delighted by the positive encouragement of the instructor (and the high level of safety -lead holders for every horse waiting to help, protective vests and helmets all around... I don't remember all that in my horse camps!). Prices for adult instruction hover around the €30 mark. €32 for an assessment and a prepay 12 lesson package comes to about €27 per session. Kids Pony Play 40 minute sessions are just €20 and can be scheduled lesson by lesson - a great way to get a kid in the saddle without committing to more sessions than they might want. The centre isn't just for instruction though, and a brisk trade in horse-themed parties, day camps, shows and other horse-related activities. The community that's grown up around the venue is positively encouraged with canteen and cafe facilities, outdoor areas for picnics, plus an open and spotless livery barn where horses and ponies are stabled between riding sessions (and always appreciative of a well-mannered hello and gift of apples or hay). In better weather I'll be up here with boots and helmet on, till then I'll huddle on the sidelines!

Tipperary Mountain Trekking Centre - One of many vistas on the trek. This one included two trees likely used to mark some ancient line of site.

My wife, son and I really enjoyed our time with Tipperary. I think we took the Scenic Trek. Since…read morethe weather was good, we rode for more than an hour. The staff was super accommodating. The Trek was like six activities in one. We 1) got a classical riding lesson as we were all trained in Western riding. 2) We, of course, got to ride horses. 3) The scenery was magnificent. The vistas of the hills were brilliant. We got so many great family photos. 4) There were multiple history/archeology lessons as Clare, the owner, was full of information on the local ruins and the stonework left behind. 5) The wildflowers were beautiful and everywhere. My horse made sure to show me the best tasting leaves and grass. 6) Yoga: We got a horse yoga lesson at the end. Which helped us to stretch before we alighted (got off) our ride. We were told ahead of time that if it started raining the Trek may have to be cut short. If you spend any time in Ireland this is always a possibility. The risk is well worth the reward. I would have enjoyed even just 30 minutes of this tour. This ride was the best I have ever been on. The staff is super friendly. The son, who is nine, talked a poor young Frenchman's ear off, and later would not stop talking about how much he enjoyed the cultural exchange with him. Clare the owner was very down to earth, and her and all her staff showed joy in their horses, riding and their slice of Ireland. Very importantly, the horses were healthy and well cared for. You could tell they had affection for Clare and the staff.

Great experience! My daughter (age 10)and I went on a 2 hour mountain trek with Clare she was…read morewonderful! Gave a thorough quick riding instruction and took us on a breathtaking ride through the mountains. I highly recommend her if youre traveling in Tipperary, Ireland on a beautiful day. Cant wait to go again worth every penny!
