Whisper Riding School
Lessons In Leinster, Ireland
About Our Farm
Nestled amidst gentle countryside, the rich history of Whisper Farm unfolds like a tale whispered in the wind. Founded in 1955 by the equestrian visionary, Margo Dunne, it was a place where the harmony between horse and rider took center stage. From its humble beginnings as a simple stable, Whisper Farm blossomed into an equestrian sanctuary renowned for its ethereal bond between horse and human. Through the years, we have developed groundbreaking training techniques that harnessed the power of communication and trust.
Benefits of horse riding
Horse riding has numerous benefits for both physical and mental health, as well as personal development. Here are four bullet points summarizing some of the benefits of horse riding:
- Physical Health: Horse riding is a moderate-intensity activity that can help improve physical fitness, including cardiovascular health, balance, coordination and flexibility. It can also burn calories and help with weight management
