    Hi guys , I was wondering if any other horsey enthusiasts were attending Cafre in Enniskillen this year - that way I'll have a vague idea who I'll be going with and or if anyone already attending give me a run down of what happens at orientation.

    I'm a socially inept first year and any advice would be great. :D

    Its great! The yards are spotless and all the horses were groomed to perfection. There it three main yards , the racing yard , Liverys and the mare and foal yard..don't think I skipped anything.. the staff are really helpful and friendly so are other students by the looks of things too :-). My dad isn't horsey at all and he really liked it so it must be a good thing. Are you bringing a horse/pony? :-)

Did you see what they were like as well as the class places thingys? Do they test you on your riding before you start? When are you moving up? sorry i'm so curious since its all so new!:)

    Apologies if I offended,
    I ment Cafre is the place to be for me rather than Limerick or Athlone. Don't get me wrong I'm sure the other two colleges are fine places to attend - I just feel that Enniskillen is a better option for myself.

    Oh no, I don't mean it like that! I just meant that in terms of education standards, you'd be better in limerick.
