The Experience

horse riders required in Rosslare by the beach. We take young racehorses that have failed through traditional racehorse training methods in Ireland and bring them to our home to indulge in our hobby of racing but with a twist. Our horse are outside with each other with access to hay 24/7. They train on a horse treadmill, swim in the sea, sometimes do flatwork and slow canters on the beach

I was with Theresa and Tom and the horses for a month. It was my first trip alone and I felt so comfortable every day of my stay. I met a lot of people from all over the world. The horses are special but really stunning.
My favorite horse is Victor ;)
The most beautiful was the riding on the beach. It was so great I couldn't stop smiling.
Theresa, Tom and Alex are so nice and cute and if you have a problem you can talk with them. I can really recommend it especially as your first trip you feel very welcome there
I loved to be there and I will come back.

I had a fantastic time volunteering here. The hosts are warm, welcoming and generous.
The hosts are great at matching tasks to your strengths, whether that means heavy physical labor or detail-oriented, precise projects.
While you will be around the horses, you won't be riding them. These are high-energy racehorses that require experienced professional riders.
Volunteers stay together in separate cabins rather than with the hosts in the main house. There can be quite a few volunteers at once and you are responsible for keeping your cabin clean and cooking your own meals.

I stayed with Tom and Theresa for 3 weeks, but honestly I would have loved to stay longer and I am already looking forward to coming back. They where great hosts and it was an amazing experience. I can recommend it to everybody who love horses and spending time outside. I really enjoyed working with the horses and training them, especially the riding on the beach. They are really great and I totally fell in love with them, but they are not for total beginners. The surrounding countryside is gorgeous and I am very grateful that I was able to explore some other parts of Ireland as well.

I had the best time volunteering with Tom and Theresa! I loved learning about the Irish racing industry, the training regime for racehorses, and getting to work with these beautiful horses. There are lots of opportunities to ride, almost daily, but it's worth keeping in mind that these horses are not for beginners! Tom and Theresa were incredibly accommodating and kind and went above and beyond to immerse us in Irish culture, while also being so flexible with my travel plans whilst I was there. I'm already looking forward to coming back! I highly recommend volunteering here!

I spent six weeks at the ranch, it was incredible! I received a super welcome; Tom and Theresa are very welcoming. They were always there for us whenever we had a problem! I loved working with the horses with Tom; it's always a pleasure to work with someone so passionate, and Tom is passionate! I enjoyed it so much that I'm now looking for a trainer in France. We were very well accommodated with the other volunteers, no complaints whatsoever. I absolutely want to go back! The horses are amazing, maybe not for beginners, but amazing! It’s a superb experience, I recommend 1000 times !
