Festina Lente offers equine centred activities to people of all ages, backgrounds, learning abilities and interests. Our inclusive environment fosters each person’s learning and well-being in a supportive, nurturing and fun manner. Our Equestrian Centre has developed a strong reputation for excellence in high level coaching, inclusion of children and persons with special needs through therapeutic riding and learning programmes. We are fully approved by the Association of Irish Riding Establishments (AIRE). Facilities include a very large floodlit indoor arena, a large outdoor arena, outdoor paddocks and sensory trails. Excellent Horse Welfare also plays a key role in Festina Lente. One innovative way we can help clients is through the use of our Horse Simulator. “Troy” is a five-speed mechanical horse simulator who can make transitions from walk to canter; buttons on his side allow the coach to control speed allowing the coach and rider to focus on areas for improvement.
