Horseback Riding in Ireland
CASTLE LESLIE EQUESTRIAN CENTER

A variety of jumping is available
 A variety of jumping is available
The private Castle Leslie Estate covers 1,000 secluded acres of undulating Irish countryside, dotted with ancient woodlands and glittering lakes; the perfect location for a horse-riding holiday. The estate sits just behind the newly remodeled hunting lodge.

There are 500 cross-country jumps including natural obstacles such as rivers, ditches, fallen tree trunks, hedges, stone walls, drops and banks in many shapes and sizes. You can also explore the estate on 21 miles of bridleways.

Ireland's mild climate is ideal for riding year round. You stay in the large gothic-style hunting lodge, which is now the Estate's 4-Star Hotel after a recent remodel.
