"0 the
Opal and Sapphire of the wandering Western Sea, and the women
riding high above with bright hair flapping free - . "
Thomas Hardy could be describing the Scene at Grange, Co. Sligo
on Ireland's Atlantic Sea-board as horse and rider are silhouetted
against the early morning skyscrape of Europes westernmost coastline.
Miles of
Beaches
From Horse Holiday Farm you can ride left and right along miles
of sandy beaches. You tan trek along the lanes of the hinterland
and mountains, waterfalls, lakes and historic castles and houses.
This is Yeat's
country, from which the famous Irish poet drew so much inspiration.
His presence still lingers in Lissadell House. In Drumcliffe Churchyard
pause to read his epitaph: "Cast a cold eye on life and death.
Horseman pass by".
You can improve
your riding skills on our Cross-Country Course of 10 miles and
over 50 obstacles set on 400 acres. An experienced guide will
show - you around, but you are free at any time, to ride as you
please, before breakfast or at sunset.
We have
horses to suit all abilities of rider.
They are well mannered and experienced and very sure-footed.
You and your horse will have plenty of time to get to know one
another.
**On arrival, we will match horse and rider.
**For experience riders:
Your Irish Hunter will take you at a leisurely amble if you wish
and he is also competent at galloping along the sand-dunes and
beaches or jumping the obstacles on the Cross-Country Course.
**For less experience riders:
You will be given a horse which is safe and quiet in all respects.
You will have an experienced guide to ride with you where you
will find that your confidence will grow by the day.
You will have the opportunity to ride along the beautiful sandy
beaches and the little inland trails.
The horse
is yours for the duration of your holiday, so you may ride as
you please each day. Wednesday is rest-day for the horses. This
will give you the opportunity to do some shopping or tour the
counties of Sligo and Donegal. As an individual or in a group,
you will have an unforgettable holiday with lots of adventure,
fun and relaxation.
