Why
are we different from other
tours?
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
|
Our programs are unique in that we have the consistency of
riding with one instructor and access to some of Irelands best
private courses; many not open to the public. We also use more
than one venue, so we have new challenges and a change of
scenery every day.

Aidan
O’Connell is our trainer in Ireland and works directly
with us at Jump Ireland as your personal riding
instructor. With his extensive experience as a professional
rider and trainer, Aidan has been able to develop a unique
training program that benefits all riders, from beginners or
novice riders, to the serious advanced competitor. |
|
Our
clinics emphasize safety while cross-country jumping and in
the hunt field, by improving balance and building confidence
while riding the wonderful and the fantastic cross-country
courses.
|

|
 |
We
spend several days learning the fundamentals of jumping
natural as well as man made cross-country fences in a fun and
relaxed atmosphere. By breaking down each element and
evaluating the way to ride each obstacle, we can look at each
fence to determine what kind of question it asks both us as
the rider, and the horse. |
|
We
will also review photos and videos of each days schooling and
you will have the chance to discuss with Aidan at length your
goals as a rider and/or competitor. Each one of you will come
away with a deeper understanding of riding and jumping and a
true respect for the Irish horse!
|
 |
| Aidan
is continually schooling and educating young horses whose
futures may lie in the hunting, eventing or show jumping
disciplines.
This
is also the best way for him to find talented young horses for
our extensive overseas clientele. Aidan teaches clinics in
Ireland, Germany, and the United States.
