4worldlovers:
Welcome to the Fettercairn Youth Horse Project. We are a community based horse riding centre situated right beside the Fettercairn Red Line Luas Stop in Tallaght.

We run public or private horse riding lessons and pony camps for all ages and we would be delighted to see you. Just call around or phone us for information at 01-462 7214 .

The FYHP Newsletter 2022 has been launched.The Newsletter records all of the events in the Fettercairn Youth Horse Project over the last year. It is well worth a look and we hope that you will enjoy it.

In March, we were forced to close for four months because our insurer was leaving the Irish market and as a result, our public liability insurance was not renewed. Similar to many in the equine industry and many other sectors in Ireland, we experienced huge challenges in accessing insurance, but we persevered and re-opened in late July.

Since then, we have restarted all our programmes and started new ones.

The Fettercairn Youth Horse Project has launched a funding initiative to help provide for some of the running costs and annual insurance.

The Horse Project, now in operation for 22 years, is a huge community resource in the Tallaght area and beyond.

“I have had the pleasure through my work as an SNA to visit the Fettercairn project recently. It is heart-warming to see the enjoyment the children gain from the experience. Thank you to all involved. Tanya Murphy 6th October 2022.

While services are designed and delivered to a number of groups including local schools, youth groups and young people from socially excluded groups including Travellers, eighty percent of our service users at present are people with additional complex needs who rely and depend heavily on equine therapy. We offer inclusive therapeutic classes to young people.

We also host workshops and courses for young people who have in interest in sourcing further education in the equine industry. We support young people in achieving their BHS and AIRE exams; there are over twenty local youth volunteers that provide enormous help to the centre.

The Horse Project is open for general horse riding lessons to the public on Saturdays and on weekday evenings.

As part of our efforts to continue the operation of the Horse Project, we would ask people to please make a donation, however big or small, using this link.

The Horse Project reopened to the South Dublin community on 25th July 2022. A huge “thank you” is due to all who helped to ensure that FYHP is able to continue providing much needed services in the area. All of the lesson slots have been fully booked from the reopening.

There was a great response from the staff, the community, statutory bodies and the business community, both before and after the reopening. This diary update of events gives an idea of the latest news.

We were most privileged to have the staff of Amazon Web Services come to the Horse Project to enhance our centre; there has been a complete transformation and upgrading.

The photographs don’t manage to convey the extent of the works and the spirit in which the work was carried out. The whole centre has been repainted, all new equipment for horses; headgear, horse rugs, equipment, the list goes on. A massive thank you is due to Tom and all the AWS team.

There is a lot of excitement in the air. What an absolutely amazing week !
