1. Book a holiday for the best horse riding experience ever. Try the adventure holiday companies that are springing up in every high street or the Internet. If you are buying a holiday directly from the source, the information will usually be more detailed and you will see exactly what you are getting.
2. Book with the Grange Horse Holiday Farm. Located on the Sligo-Donegal border with one of the most dramatic landscapes as your racecourse, it really does not get much better than this. Located directly on the North West Atlantic coast, the trails include mountains, lakes, green fields and golden beaches. The area is a relaxing spot even without the added bonus of horse riding.
3. Get your very own horse. During the course of your horse riding holiday you are given your very own horse for as long as you are staying. The horses are mainly Irish Hunters but there are a few Connemara ponies available. All the horse and ponies are well trained and there will be one to suit you whether you are a novice or seasoned rider.
4. Take to the hills. How does the prospect of disappearing on a horse for three days on golden beaches and then three days trekking through mountains sound? Well that is exactly what you get when you take a specialised holiday. You can ride alone or with a group of riders and you will be given a detailed map showing you exactly where to go. Along the Sligo Trail way there will be details of well stocked farmhouses where you can bunk down for the night and eat Irish stews that have been prepared for your arrival.
5. Enjoy the Sligo and Donegal Trails. This holiday is really an adventure, the trails are breath-takingly scenic and you are left to ride your horse without a guide. When you go horse riding in Sligo and Donegal you are getting an essence of the real Ireland. Along the way you will no doubt run into the friendly Irish locals who love their horses and are always happy to see a newcomer.
