Child

At Carrickmines Equestrian Centre, we welcome children from six years of age and upwards, working with riders of all standards from complete beginners up.

Lessons are held seven days a week. Our indoor arena provides the ideal, safe environment for beginners. Private lessons may also be arranged by special appointment, we do not offer privates at the weekends.

The needs of each child are taken into account and suitable horses and ponies are provided. Our group lessons are made up of kids with similar riding standard and we never mix children and adults. When joining lessons we try to match each rider into a suitable lesson, making any changes if required once we have seen the child ride. With the exception of beginners we use the first lesson as an assessment.

We accept Debit cards, EFT and cash payment, we no longer accpet cheques. Please note all booking deposits are non refundable, bookings cancelled less than 48 hours in advance will be subject to 50% charge, bookings cancelled less than 24 hours in advance will be subject to full charge.

A registration/waiver form must be completed by parents/guardian prior to a child’s first lesson.
