| Ireland
is known the world over for its hunting. There are 38 recognised packs
of hounds. The hunting country is as varied and challenging than will
be found anywhere else in the world. In some areas the land is criss-crossed
by stone walls, in other parts of the country the obstacles can be
big ditches or banks. Aille Cross is in the Galway Blazers country.
This is ideal hunting country, open, level going divided by the stone
walls for which the hunt is so famous.
The Irish hunting horse is as unique as the country itself. They are bred from the native Irish Draught crossed with a Thoroughbred stallion, producing an animal that is hard to match in its courage, tremendous jumping ability and kind temperament. At Aille Cross we have a large selection of horses, that will suit any ability and size of rider. We pride ourselves on being able to match your ability to one of our horses to ensure that your hunting holiday is the experience of a lifetime. |

Aille
Cross offers riders, experienced or novice, the opportunity to hunt
in the Galway countryside. Willie Leahy, your host at Aille Cross,
is the Fieldmaster of the Galway Blazers Hunt. Riders should be secure at all paces and over fences. However, unlike many other hunting holidays, riders have a chance to get to know their hunters and the country beforehand. The package includes six days of riding with one to three days hunting. |
