Horses

Ireland's horse industry is famous throughout the world. We not only produce top class racehorses but we also produce some of the best competition horses as well. `

Currently 53,000 people are employed in the sports horse sector in Ireland with many hundreds of thousands of people having horses as a hobby.

Horses are everywhere in Ireland and there are many placements available in a wide range of horse farms. We have placements from large multi-national stud farms with many hundreds of employees through to small family yards.

If you are particularly interested in three-day eventing or showjumping, we can put you in a placement that will help you to develop the skills to bring you right to the top. If you would like to gain experience in general horse care, then maybe one of our riding centre placements or with a friendly equine family might suit you.


Whatever the placement, you will be required to help with all aspects of the care of horses such as cleaning out stables, sweeping yards, grooming horses and in most cases, plenty of riding.
