Testimonials

"Our annual horsey holiday in Flowerhill is the highlight of our equestrian calendar. We first took our two horses Bud and Clyde on holiday to Flowerhill in 2014 and have returned every year since. As soon as we let down the ramp on the lorry our horses know exactly where they are and how much fun they are going to have. The stabling is very comfortable and our horses are always happy and relaxed in Flowerhill. Oliver and Giulia are so welcoming and we always feel like its our second home. Every day we can do something different- cross country, hacking, show jumping or a lesson with an instructor, afterwards we can cook and eat in the cosy "Den" kitchen area in Oliver's beautiful country house, which has a separate fully equipped guest kitchen. Portumna is a really nice friendly town and is only a few minutes drive away it has many beautiful restaurants, cafes and bars. We have so many fond memories over the years from Flowerhill and hope we can continue our annual holidays for many years to come." From Liz, Ryan, Bud & Clyde - County Donegal, May 2020

"I highly recommend the livery and 'neighcation' services in Flowerhill Equestrian Centre. When I'm with my horse I can enjoy the idyllic setting, amazing facilities and meet great people. When I'm not there I know that my horse will be very well cared for by a kind and knowledgeable team. The yard runs like clockwork. It is secure, clean and tidy. Feed is top quality and turnout plentiful." From Lyndsey, June 2020
