OUR STORY
A Passion Project
Grangebeg is home to Aidan, Poppy and their little daughter Sophie. Set on a stunning 67 acres of Irish grazing land and surrounded by mature trees, Grangebeg is a top quality equestrian facility as well as a home. The family bought the farm in 2020 and have been working tirelessly to transform it into an equine haven and top class training centre ever since.
What We Do
At the heart of Grangebeg is our passion for producing top quality competition horses and training riders who are dedicated to the sport. Aidan prides himself on his ability to select horses for clients as well as help students to learn and progress through the sport. We offer coaching programs, clinics and full board options.
​
We always have a selection of horses for sale that have been carefully selected and produced by Aidan.
