MANHATTAN RIDING CLUB’S

EMERALD ISLE RETREAT

JUNE 7 - 14, 2026

An Exclusive Irish Riding & Cross-Country Training Experience

Ride, train, and immerse yourself in the heart of Ireland’s legendary horse country with this unforgettable week-long equestrian adventure in County Tipperary.

This experience is designed for confident, capable riders who want to improve their cross-country skills, ride exceptional Irish horses, and enjoy the culture, hospitality, and beauty of Ireland all in a relaxed, beautifully organized setting.

Over the course of the week, riders will train daily, progressing from flatwork and arena sessions to jumping multiple cross-country lines and ultimately riding a full cross-country course.

"I did this trip in 2025 and had an amazing experience! Lush landscapes, top-notch training that challenged and grew my riding, lovely facilities, and incredible Irish horses who love their jobs. The team at Crossogue was welcoming and passionate, and I learned so much both in and out of the saddle. I came home a much stronger, more confident rider and can’t wait to return again! "
-MRC Rider Breegan
