Jason & myself own a hardware & hire shop in Graignamanagh and I work from home doing all the office work. Our family consists of 7.

Life with your host family

A typical day in our household will start with feeding & mucking out the horses around 9 o'clock in the morning, then breakfast followed by a ride in the arena or a hack along the beautiful countryside of Graignamanagh. We will have some lunch and either go site seeing around the area or a shopping trip to Kilkenny or you can take time out to chill in Graignamanagh.
