Hi All, My 15 year old dauhter is autistic,and quite severe by most measures.However every week she go's horse riding and loves it,so I would like to explore a horse riding holiday for part or all of a week.We live in Ireland,but would be happy to travel to anywhere in the UK or Ireland that suits "special needs" horse riding.We were on to the UK National Autistic Society which gave general information but not personal recommendation,therefore I ask has anyone got knowledge or experience of horse riding holidays that are geared specifically to "special needs" which they would be hapy to recommend.

Don`t have any ideas about a complete tailored holiday but I used to ride at a stables called Keypitts in North Devon and they do riding for the disabled. I hacked once with them with a lad who was on holiday who had Downes and Tourettes and they were good with him. It would be more a case of staying in the area (which is very nice and scenic) and doing regular hacks

You could try ringing the National Autistic Society to see if they have a list of "Autistic friendly" holidays.

I did a search for "Autistic Holidays" in Google (you can do the same) and found this on the NAS site
