Newcastle West Riding Centre Ltd

Mary Leonards Riding School operates as a family-run equestrian centre located three kilometres from Newcastle West in County Limerick. The business provides riding lessons for individuals aged six years and older, including adults. It caters to riders of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced participants. Young riders commence their training with private lessons to build confidence and learn techniques at their own pace. As their abilities progress, they may transition to group lessons, which accommodate a maximum of eight students to ensure personalised attention. The centre features facilities such as showjumping and dressage arenas, a cross-country course, and small indoor all-weather tracks.

In addition to regular lessons, the centre runs summer pony camps every July. These three-day events include activities such as stable management, grooming, pony club games, and treasure hunts. The business also offers holidays for foreign students, combining riding and stable work with English language classes. Participants spend the day on the farm engaging in hands-on pony care and educational sessions. Home stays are available, allowing international visitors to experience living with an Irish family while improving their language skills.
