Looking for something real to add to your child’s homeschool week? 📚🐴

At BallynaFagh, we’ve created more than just “riding lessons.”

We follow a simple curriculum that helps children learn, grow, and thrive, in and out of the saddle 🌟

Here’s what that looks like in practice:
💚 Riding skills that build confidence and coordination
💚 Learning how to care for ponies (responsibility + problem-solving)
💚 Developing patience, focus, and resilience - life lessons that stick
💚 Small-group moments that create real friendships (without the schoolyard drama 🙈)

With flexible weekday hours and years of experience welcoming homeschool families through our gates, we make sure every child is learning and loving the process.

From BallynaFagh-born ponies to BallynaFagh-brave riders, this is learning that lasts ✨

Message us on 0619740290 to chat about adding our homeschool riding curriculum into your week 🌟🏇🏻💫

Okay… Summer is coming so no excuses!

If the person who ‘said’ that they would go riding together ‘soon’ is ghosting you…

I’m officially giving you permission to call them out 😉😂

Summer is back and if this has been one of the many excuses; let’s make a plan 🌟

We have ponies and horses to suit most riders (and ‘newbies’ as well 😉🌟)

And with our FREE 30 Minute Intro Lessons; this is a win 💪🌟

If you want to join in on the fun, contact us on 061 974 0290 to book your lesson or trail ride today🤩

🎉🎂 Birthday celebrations at BallynaFagh Farm! 🐴💖
Today we get to celebrate not one, but TWO special birthdays ✨

🌟 Bello turns 2 – our newest farm friend, already stealing hearts in the short time they’ve been with us.

It’s a privilege to share in these milestones with our farm family 🌾💫
Happy Birthday Clarissa & Bello – may the year ahead be full of rides, smiles and magical memories! 🐎🥳

✨ From unicorn dreams to riding reality 🦄🐴 
Clarissa’s love for My Little Pony sparked her wish to ride when she was just 3 years old.
At 6, she had her very first lesson here at BallynaFagh Farm… and she hasn’t looked back! 💛

Her mom says it’s been incredible watching her grow in confidence, responsibility, and joy with every single ride. 🌿

👉 Thinking about lessons for your child?
Riding is more than a sport; it’s a way to build life skills, make memories, and follow their heart.

Send us a message, 061 9740290, to book their first ride today!

You know what...?
Horses aren’t just for Little People! 🤯

So many adults tell us they always wanted to try riding when they were younger, but, for all sorts of reasons, it never happened 😔

And then they got busy with work, school, family - all the things that make up “real life”… 😅

Before you know it, years have passed! 🫣

At BallynaFagh, we believe it’s never too late.

And that fun isn’t just for the little ones 😜,

We also know that confidence doesn’t stop growing at a certain age - in fact, trying something new is good for you (and your brain 😉)

Whether you’ve never touched a horse before, or it’s been decades since you last sat in a saddle, we’ll make a plan to get you started 🐴💚

Safely, as gentle as you need, and with a whole lot of laughs along the way 🐎✨

Don’t believe that you can’t have a story with horses. Come and write the first or the next chapter with us 🌟

And, because we get ‘adulting’, responsibilities, and real life…
We’re as flexible as you need and will work with your sechedule to make it happen 🌟

Reach out to us today at 0619740290 and let us help you ‘throw a leg over’ and get going in the saddle 🏇🏻

Let’s be honest…
The first time you do anything in life is usually nothing to write home about.
In fact, it can often be a bit of a flop 🙈😅

But not for Aisling 🐴🌟

This past weekend was a BIG moment for one very special BallynaFagh native…

✨ Ashling - born right here in the first few days of 2014 - finally stepped out into the world for the very first time 🌟

And she was AMAZING 🦄

That’s right:
🐴 She’s NEVER left the farm
🐴 She’s NEVER been in a horsebox

Yet on Saturday, she ticked both of those off the list and took part in a showing clinic like an absolute SUPERSTAR 🥰

Calm. Curious. Brave.
Ashling handled the whole experience as if she’s been sneaking out for shows for years 🤷‍♀️

She’s always had a little “something special” since the day she was born - and it showed up in spades this weekend 💖

From BallynaFagh-born to BallynaFagh-bold…
Here’s to many more adventures, girl 💜💚💫

✨🐴 Yesterday was such a special day for the Ballynafagh Farm team! 🌿 Our very first showing clinic in PE was filled with learning, laughter, and lots of love for our ponies. 🥰🐎

We’re so proud of how far we’ve come and excited for all the adventures still ahead! ❤️
