    Apart from Abbeyfield Farm & Dunbyrne Stud - does anyone know of anywhere that you can hire out decent gallops for a spin? Must have a decent surface though & not too deep.

    Contact details etc would be great! Thanks!

    What type of horses do want the gallops for? Race horses/point-to-pointers? To get horses fit for hunter trials/eventing, etc? Or just for a ride out? Some will cater only for the former, while others have specific times for non race horses.

    Sorry yes I should have said - just for a leisure ride out really, getting some fitness in for HT & just to get out of the arena for a blow out of the cobwebs since cant get XC cause the ground is too wet everywhere :(
