Read this article in the farmers journal to know all the benefits about equine therapy 🐎

Did you know that we fully qualified to teach equine therapeutic sessions, contact for more info or to come and meet us and the horses 🐎

I completed my equine therapy coaching course in ChildVision with a fantastic and knowledgeable group of people, and Lucy was one of those 🐴

🌟 Our very own Lucy Dillon recently spoke with the Irish Farmers Journal about the incredible benefits of equine therapy and how horses can help people find balance, confidence, and healing. 🐴💙

In the feature, Lucy shares how how beneficial equine therapy can benefit people through the effects it has on the sensory system and neurologically on the brain and body as a whole .

Another happy pair who stayed with us 🐴

Thank you to Kate and Yola who travelled from Kanturk to spend a few days on the Beara Peninsula ✨️

Their horses Harry and S***f had 5* star treatment while on livery and our riders had a warm and cozy stay in Tigh Sean ☘️

These guys booked us to ride two days, half day trekking around our lovely town loop and then a full day from the stables to urhan then onto allihies for a break before heading home 🏇

Between the showers and howling wind scenes there was some beautiful blue skies along the way and our riders were in awe of the fabulous views ❤️

Fancy a break away to the beara Peninsula - give us a call 📞
