Looking for horse riding for kid with Special Needs

MarkR

Would anyone have any recommendation for horse riding in the Limerick or Clare area that would be suitable for a kid with special needs (Autism).

Just want to get him up and trotting around really. Done it before in Kilrush and he liked it.

Thanks

I think St Josephs foundation in Charleville have bought a farm around the Croom direction specifically for this?? Definately give them a ring to find out how far along they are with it

I'd second Davnet in Clonlara she's great and I know they have done and as far as I know still do work with children with autism and also with other groups working with people with disabilities. They will most likely have no problem helping you and your child.

Davnet actually responded to an email I'd sent after a search. Will be checking it out with them shortly. Thanks for all the replies.

A stud was converted. It was finished about a year ago.
