    Decided to tale up horse riding but would like if some of ye in the know would recommend best place near Waterford city for adult lessons! Am a bit impatient so would be willing to take private lessons if the price is right, or are they worth it???? All replies welcome!

    Kilotteran Equitation Centre, I hear good things about it for children anyway.

    Pallas Equestrian Centre, near Woodstown is the best for adults and children in my opinion - the horses there arent like robots. Private lessons initially would be a good idea just to get used to riding, but after that you could join a class - everyone is very friendly out there.

    Best of luck!:)

    Thanks for suggestions had been looking at these two, only saw other thread now where someone recommended Bishops Hall- havent heard of it- and Stonehaven, Bishops hall seems to get the thumbs up on price. Any one have any views on it????

    Do you want somewhere with an indoor arena or do you mind? Make sure wherever you go is approved by AIRE.

    To be honest dont really know what I need only that I would like to horse ride, so dont know how important an indoor arena is? Will check out AIRE tho.

    I checked out the above horseriding centres, and they all look good, but I live in Dungarvan. Is there any good horse riding centres in or near Dungarvan?

    I used to ride (about 15 years ago), so would probably want a refresher, but then will be fine. Want to trek around the countryside, as opposed to doing jumping or dressage.

    Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks. x
