Nestled next to Clonshire Equestrian Centre, the Residential Holidays with Stable Management provide an immersive experience for equestrian enthusiasts aged 12-19. Participants stay in supervised accommodation, with meals prepared on-site and dormitory-style rooms enhancing the communal atmosphere. Daily activities include dressage, showjumping, cross-country lessons, and countryside hacks. Campers also learn stable management skills like grooming and feeding. Evenings offer relaxation and social outings, culminating in a final competition to display the riders' skills.
The Clonshire Equestrian Centre offers a comprehensive riding curriculum blending dressage, groundwork, showjumping, and cross-country lessons. Students engage in two daily riding sessions aimed at improving technique and confidence, complemented by practical stable management education where they learn about horse care, grooming, and feeding under expert supervision.
Beyond the saddle, Clonshire's summer camp enriches the equestrian experience with a variety of lively activities. After riding, campers can unwind with movies, games, or socializing in the comfortable lodge. The program also includes excursions to the charming local village of Adare, offering a perfect mix of outdoor adventure and cultural exploration, making every day at the camp not just educational but also incredibly fun.
The accommodation is warmly welcoming, situated in a family home converted into a lodge nestled beside the stables in a serene forest setting. Here, children are well-supervised by Katrina, the dedicated House Mother who resides at the lodge year-round. The rooms are arranged dormitory style, featuring double and triple room configurations. Campers enjoy communal spaces such as a TV area and a kitchenette, enhancing the homely feel. Meals are conveniently served at the lodge, making it a comfortable and secure base just a stone's throw from the equestrian activities.
