Castle Irvine Equestrian Centre

Castle Irvine (formerly Necarne Castle Equestrian Centre) near Irvinestown in County Fermanagh is a historic equestrian estate that sat largely dormant for years after its former equine college lease ended, before a new team took over and restored the facilities. It now operates primarily as a premier events, training and arena-hire venue rather than a walk-in public riding school.

Facilities include four large arenas — among them a striking walled garden arena and a state-of-the-art indoor riding school with a viewing gallery — plus extensive stabling around the old stone courtyard and in a barn, and beautiful estate hacking for those attending events. The venue regularly hosts show jumping and dressage shows, national eventing competitions, Pony Club camps, adult riding camps, and clinics with well-known coaches, and is home to both the Erne Lakeland Riding Club and the Fermanagh Harriers branch of the Pony Club. On-site accommodation is available through Necarne Manor B&B and renovated courtyard apartments.

Note: current sources describe events, camps and arena hire, not standard individual lessons, hacking-for-hire or livery — confirm directly whether these are available before treating it as a conventional riding school.
