Your visit to Bel-Air this year
All seasons are a great time to visit Bel-Air! Just pick the time that suits you best – or come
for a few brief visits.
The winter can be a bit wet, but who cares when you are out on a horse? Our
horses are keen whatever the weather. And you'll feel you really deserve those hot drinks in
front of the fire afterwards.
In the spring Wicklow is at its most beautiful! The colours are fantastic with
rhododendrons, bluebells, wild garlic, gorse, delicate green grass and the first shy growth in the corn
fields. The Bel-Air horses are full of the joy of spring, and count the days before they can move out for
the summer.
Why not visit us over Easter or another long weekend for a cross-country refresher or our
special confidence-building package. The Wicklow garden festival also starts in spring each year, and runs throughout the
summer.
In the summer you might want to plan your visit so you can also spend some time at
Dublin Horse Show, 7th–11th August in 2013. You can ride in the morning and visit the show in the afternoon if you
like. You need to pre-book tickets if you want a seat for one of the big classes in the main arena, but if you
just arrive on the day you will still get access to the whole exhibition and most of the classes. For
information about the show, tickets, etc. go to the Dublin Horseshow website.
And then we have the autumn. Beautiful autumn with golden stubble fields, bright blue skies
and – mockhunts. If you are interested, we have a special mockhunt package.
One of our guests published this little video on YouTube after her visit. And then she returned for the mockhunt ...

Follow us on Facebook if you want to know more about what we are up to. We have a fan page so you only have
to Like us. We will not be able to see your own information unless you choose to post messages or links on our
wall. If you have photos or videos from Bel-Air, we'd be delighted if you want to share them.
And to get the Bel-Air atmosphere, you can watch our YouTube channel. Apart from the headcam videos from the mock hunt, it shows some of our guests
show jumping and cross country. Plus that great video the Honeymoon testers made during their visit a while
back. They also wrote about us on their blog. Enjoy!
One of our guests last year also made a very brief summary of her visit here, and posted it on YouTube. Very
nice, we think.
We look forward to hearing from you, and hope to see you soon - in the saddle or in front of the fire,
Maggie and Noni Law
