Horseback Riding in Ireland
CASTLE LESLIE EQUESTRIAN CENTER


 
Castle Leslie Estate is a secluded private estate covering 1,000 acres of undulating Irish countryside, dotted with ancient woodlands and glittering lakes - the perfect location for a horse-riding holiday. The center is located 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 allows for riding year round. You will stay in the large gothic style hunting lodge, which is now the Estate's 4 Star Hotel after a recent remodel.
