Overnight horseback riding trip for family. Where to go?

Which horseback riding trips to Scotland and Ireland are the best?

• I want to take a horseback riding trip to either Scotland Ireland. I'm starting to save up so I'll be looking to go in about a year or so. I've browsed several sites such as hiddentrails.com, but I would like to hear from someone who has actually been on one of trips. I'm an intermediate level English style rider, am not afraid of a challenge, and absolutely do not want to go on a glorified walk/trot pony ride. I would prefer one that involves a good bit of camping and time in the wilderness (preferably in the woods or mountains), and involves some sightseeing to historic places. I would really love to go to one with a multisport component, but it isn't a requirement. Cost is a big issue. I don't mind paying more for a better trip, but I can't afford more than around $1500 a week unless this has some pretty spectacular itineraries and features.

• Answer:

  There is a equestrian centre in Co.Donegal, In the North west of Ireland : http://donegalequestriancentre.com/ Their website it excellent, and you can find out all about prices, and all the trials they ride and everything else you need to know. I have been to it a few times, but I think the yard was owned by someone else at the time. It seems to be much better now, I only wish I could afford to go myself.
