    Hello fellow equine lovers!

    If anyone knows of a reliable/friendly equestrian farm (could be a private one too possibly) in Co.Mayo can you please send me a private message .. I have tried google search, but for some reason I only get the name of one farm and get other random links for equestrian related stuff.

    Thanks in advance!! :)

    . There are a few equestrian centres based on good sized farms and plenty of private yards that do livery. Mayo is a big county. 100 miles from Shrule to Bellmullet
    What exactly are u looking for.. A bit more detail would help

    Are you looking for somewhere to rent for yourself, a riding school, or a livery yard?

    We don't really refer to them as 'farms' here.

    Im sorry! My terminology is off. Im still learning. I am looking for a place that I could work occasional hours on weekends or a few week nights to help bring in some extra money. I have experience (from Canada) working at prestigious private equestrian centers here - I have owned/trained and taught lessons. I have also done competitions myself (hunter/jumper)
    So just looking to contact a few places for when I move. I don't have an exact location as to where I will be just yet, but just doing some pre-move research so I have all my ducks in a row

    Have you tried Yard and Groom? http://www.yardandgroom.com/Jobs/Ireland?timeperiod=pastmonth


    Also, there's a few Facebook groups you can join too. I joined this a while ago and it's very busy: https://www.facebook.com/groups/7231212198/

    In terms of Google, maybe it's because you used farm? Here, farms are moreso where food is made :) You could try googling Equestrian Centres, Riding Schools, Equestrian Yards, Showjumping Yards, Eventing Yards, etc., depending on what you're looking for. Getting paid work in Ireland is difficult though.
