  Visited with a group of friends for my hen, it was a surprise and such an amazing afternoon! Most of us had little experience with riding, I actually had zero experience, and we all had a great time. You can opt to have your horse guided or not, which took a lot of the stress out of the experience for me, so I could really enjoy it. The trail is stunning, a short walk through a beautiful forest and then stunning views of the bay and the city below. The staff are lovely, the lady in the office was great and helped us organize a taxi back to the city afterwards. Will definitely be coming back to bring my family along next time!

  First time back in the saddle in over 10 years this week & I did a semi-private lesson in The Paddocks Riding School.
  
  I found the lesson excellent, there was just enough detail & instruction balanced with easing me back into it & not overloading me!
  
  The yard, staff & horses were all lovely & the location is stunning.
  
  Thanks so much! I'll definitely be back again next week.

  Went up to the paddocks to have some private lessons and a refresher course on horse riding. Very nice facilities in a good location in the Dublin mountains, great instructors and I found the whole experience very informative, helpful and fun. Would very much recommend the Paddocks riding centre to anyone.

  I took my 2 girls for the first time last week and they had an amazing experience, the centre is situated in a lovely area in the Dublin mountains overlooking the city. The staff is friendly and there were lot of helpers so it felt safe. The centre is spacious and very tidy and I can warmly recommend it for any level horse riding as they also have a wide range of activities. We will be back again next week.

  Me and two friends came here for a walk out a few weeks ago and had a really wonderful day. I enjoyed it so much that I've been coming back for lessons and am really impressed with the staff and horses.
  
  As a complete beginner I've found it a really friendly and safe place to learn some basics and plan on continuing!!
  
  Steph, Vivienne and Yvette have all been great teachers and the horses are very well cared for!
  
  My friend is a more experienced horse rider and has been similarly impressed with The Paddocks!

  My almost 4 year old daughter has had a longstanding fascination with horses and has always wanted to go horse riding.having had a good chat with Denise who explained their process, my daughter went on 4 individual ride outs with a leader and more recently goes to the group classes every Saturday.This is a great stables and Denise and her team have made the whole experience most enjoyable..The staff and leaders are all very friendly and instantly made my daughter feel comfortable and at ease..I would have no hesitation in recommending this facility for young and old riders alike..Brian

  I had ridden horses about ten years ago as a child and now that I'm in my twenties I decided to have a fresh start at The Paddocks after hearing great things from friends who had ridden here before. I have been riding at The Paddocks for about 6 months now and I have to say I'm amazed at everything I've achieved. From my first lesson , Denise, Niamh , Niamh and Yvette and the rest of the girls have been kind , patient and encouraging ! They are truly dedicated to their work and want nothing more but for their riders to succeed and to feel confident comfortable and happy on their horses. They care they put into looking after these beautiful horses really shows in lessons. The horses are cool , calm and collected and look after a rider of any standard. Starting horse riding again was on of the best decisions I've ever made and I can't thank the girls and the horses at The Paddocks enough for all their kindness and hardwork. Emily
