Flowerhill Equestrian Center

Ireland is situated on the western reach of Europe. We enjoy a rich cultural heritage that stems from our inherent individualism and our island state. A culture is formed not just by its people, but its landscape and the Irish landscape has created its own unique horse culture. The legacy of Irish Art and Literature is obviously influenced by our history of famine and foreign invasion. This complex background adds diversity to the Ireland of today. Flowerhill is situated in South East Galway. Your Equestrian holiday can be tailored to suit your interests. We are just 40 mins drive from Galway city a thriving centre of Art and Culture with festivals running all year, including the Galway races. We are just 30 mins from Oranmore, home to the famous Oyster festival. Loughrea is just a 15 min drive with its lake and world famous Cathedral. The stained glass in the Cathedral is one of its focal points. The Cathedral can be seen as part of the culmination of the Gaelic revival which took place in the earlier part of the last century, involving Maud Gonne, W.B. Yeats and Edward Martyn. Irish pub culture is a way of life in itself. The Irish are known the world over for their fondness for the craic and this is usually accompanied by a few pints. We will incorporate as much of local culture, or as little as you wish in your holiday at Flowerhill. |
