Birthday parties

We host the best birthday parties in Dublin! We can cater for up to 25 children at any time whether total beginners, advanced riders or a mixture. The birthday boy or girl will get a rosette as a reminder of their very special day at The Paddocks. With one hour riding you can choose from a one hour riding lesson, a one hour walk in the mountains (being led if neccessary) or half an hour lesson followed by half an hour walk in the mountains. Afterwards the children can groom the ponies or play pony games until its time for food. Menu includes pizza, burgers, sausage rolls or finger food, ect all prepared in our fully fitted kitchen and served in our heated party room. Balloons, party table cloth, ect provided.
