Connemara Therapeutic Riding was founded in 2015 after a
number of locals noticed the need in Connemara for such a service. Together
with the community and support from different agencies such as Forum Connemara,
The Connemara Pony Breeders Society, Paving the Way and The Dormant Accounts
Fund, Connemara Therapeutic Riding was born.
We are all about providing an all Inclusive, Family Experience. We
offer Sibling Sessions and
provide some much needed Respite for
parents/carers while their children are safe in the hands of our Fully Trained and Qualified Coaches. All of our
leaders and sidewalkers are volunteers and
are trained by our coaches.
Our therapy ponies are all Registered Connemara Ponies, bred, reared and trained
in Connemara . They have proven to be the perfect therapy pony, calm and
placid, seeming to innately understand what is required of them.
We are funded entirely by grant aid and the continuous
efforts of our fundraising team.
