Coolmine Reviews and Media

“Coolmine Equestrian Centre at Saggart is one of those places that seem to have everything for the beginner up to the more experienced rider. It has a very large airy indoor arena as well as an extensive outdoor schooling arena. But what makes it special for me is the friendliness of the staff and the teachers, and what appears to be their intimate knowledge of every horse in the centre, and its strengths and weaknesses. For a bit of excitement their cross-country course is hard to beat. I think that all round, Coolmine has to be one of the best schools presently available.” VIP Magazine – Best Of Ireland – Best Riding School

“I could see the 20 miles all the way back to Tara from Coolmine, Saggart, Co Dublin where the Lynch Family have established their Equestrian Club. No wonder Brian Boru and High King Malachy used this same commanding ridge between Dublin and Naas for a combined victory over the Danes exactly one thousand years ago. The view is breathtaking, the air invigorating and the surrounding country has a surprisingly rural tranquillity about it, while being only slightly removed from the bustle of our capital city.” The Irish Field – 13th February, 1999

"Coolmine Equestrian Centre is truly a wonderful facility,one of the best I have been to. It is well operated and well maintained. It was a pleasure to be there and I look forward to being back. Sincerely, Franklin Levinson" World renowned Horse Whisperer - 10th May, 2010
