Lessons At Ballybrack Equestrian Center

 

BEC provides a wide variety of lessons for anyone with an interest in equestrian sport, regardless of their age, their abilities or the level of riding they wish to persue. Once our riders have learned the basics of riding we cover a wide range of disciplines including, but not limited to, dressage, show jumping, hacking, trekking, Le Trec, mounted games and bareback riding. Lessons take place in our large indoor arena, out in the fields or out on the roads. Occasionally we organise trips to the nearby forestry for our more experienced riders.

More Than Just Riding

More Than Just Riding

There is more to equestrian sport than the time spent in the saddle. Here at BEC we encourage our riders to interact with and spend some time getting to know and understand their equine partners and the vast world of equestrian knowledge. There are also plenty opportunities for riders to learn more about equine management through camps and volunteering at the stables.

Lessons for everyone
