Cantering along hills with sweeping views of Dublin city, The Paddocks Riding Centre helps guests saddles up with riding lessons and treks that explore the school’s 3000 acres. The familyrun centre gives a leg up to riders of all abilities, pairing learners with selected horses for a range of indoor and outdoor canters. Taking to the hills for woodland treks, the centre’s horses also jump and prance through annual events and competitions.  After meeting their equine friend for the 75minute experience, children will be able to bond with their small steed during a 20minute grooming and handling lesson. An instructor will then corral children through a 30minute pony riding lesson, carefully guiding the steed via a lead rein. Finally children will get to untack the ponies, wrapping up the day with a quick lesson in aftercare.  Choose from the following options for a pony play experience • €16 for one child 54% off • €30 for two children 57% off Reviews While yet to be widely reviewed, The Paddocks Riding Centre has attracted over 1000 Facebook Likes to date.
