Licence - Riding Establishment
Licences to keep a riding establishment are issued under the
Riding Establishments Acts 1964 and 1970.
A Riding Establishment is "the carrying on of a business of
keeping horses to let them out for hire for riding or riding
instruction". Licences are renewable annually. The council will
arrange for the inspection of horses and premises by a veterinary
surgeon to ensure the welfare of the animals and that the
accommodation is suitable. The licence will be issued subject to
compliance with licence conditions and payment of the licence
fee.
