Horse riding holidays in Ireland

‘My experience with the Globetrotting folks was a dream come true. From the very beginning, it was the most magical adventure. The initial check-in was fabulous; everyone was warm, friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere of the estate was so spiritually inviting, engaged with positive energy beyond words. The beautiful horses, each with personality, charm and affection, made my experience amazing. The trainers were superb in every fashion, and I learned something new every day. Riding through the estate took me somewhere I have never been before. I felt pulled back in time and brought to a beautiful place I will never forget. Leaving brought tears to my eyes; I must return.’

‘The Tipperary ride was everything I hoped it would be. Inch House was stunning, and Nora, our host, was so welcoming; we all felt so at home. The food was outstanding. Jake, our coach, was excellent. He made us all feel safe and matched us perfectly with our horses. His instructions were always clear and easy to follow, and we all came away much more confident with our jumping. His classic sayings had us all in stitches. My horse, Django, was fantastic. I felt safe on him, and he was a beautiful horse to ride and jump. I would highly recommend this ride.’

‘The Castle & Estate Ride beat my expectations in every way. I couldn’t believe that the estate was even more beautiful than in the pictures and videos I  had seen. Each horse was capable and safe. The rider instructors gave me some of the best guidance I have ever received. I learned a lot during the week and found my confidence. The other riders in our group were all at the same riding level which was great. The accommodations were lovely and comfortable.’

‘The Castle & Estate ride was my first ever horse riding holiday, and I absolutely loved it! As a lifelong nomad, I was super impressed by the level of organisation. Everything was super easy; the people were amazing, and the horses were adorable. I had a 20-year riding break and returned to riding just a few months before the ride. During the four days I spent there, I advanced my riding skills really fast and gained the confidence to try out different horses back home as well! I will always cherish my favourite horses: Bee, TJ, and big boy Russell! I also really loved the Falconry experience. All in all, it was a 10/10 experience, and I cannot wait for the next one!’

‘The Cross Country ride in Tipperary was amazing! I exceeded my goal on day one. I jumped things that I never imagined I would jump and felt great doing it (I’m a nervous rider). Jake, our instructor, was incredible and encouraging; I think I will hear ‘more leg’ in my head forever. Nora at Inch House was more like a foster mother than a host, and she fed us so well. I went by myself and bonded with the most amazing group of women. We are already making plans to travel together again. Basically, this trip was a fairy tale, and the only downside was that Hudson, my ride for the week, wouldn’t fit in my carry-on luggage. I will really miss him. If you are wondering whether you should do this trip, do it! Bonus points for the professional photography package.’

‘The Tipperary XC ride is nothing short of magical; it was a breathtaking week. Nora and the team were so accommodating, friendly, and helpful; she really brought Inch House to life! The breakfast spread was absolutely stunning, and we were plied with spuds on spuds on spuds—everything was bountiful and delicious. I rode Jack, a spicy Irish Sport horse who absolutely loves his job. We flew over enormous fences and galloped over the countryside; I couldn’t have asked for a better match! Our instructors were so much fun; you can tell everyone at Crossogue is part of one big horse-loving family. Jake was so knowledgeable and helped tangibly improve my riding over the course of the week. My favourite day was tackling the steps for the first time; they were so large and impending, but with the utmost confidence from my instructor and horse, we flew up them with no problem. I conquered jumps I’d only dreamed of and have made good use of what I’ve learned at home!’
