Horse Holidays, Activities and Adventures in Ireland
Horses have always had a special place in Irish life. Our
horse breeders and trainers are renowned around the world and with over 300
race meetings and festivals a year at 26
racecourses,
horse racing in Ireland is fast becoming our most popular sport. Not only that, the huge range of
horse riding options available from post-to-post trail rides and leisurely hacks to
western riding and exciting beach treks have earned Ireland the enviable reputation as the Land of the Horse. Not to mention the countless
horse shows and fairs taking place all over Ireland such as the Fáilte Ireland Dublin Horse Show or the Connemara Pony Show. So whether you’re looking for a family holiday in a
horse-drawn caravan, horse riding on a beach at dawn, a trip to the horse show or a day at the races, you’ll find all the information you need right here on Discover Ireland’s official website for all things equestrian.
