If you are unsuccessful at securing a booking, please email horseboy@stjoephsfoundation.ie or call 083-4776179 and you will be placed on a cancellation list. Unfortunately Saturay 25th Sep, 2nd and 9th October will not be available for bookings as we are facilitating respite for families in Trabolgan. Apologies for any inconviences caused.
You are only allowed to book one session every second week. In the event that you book more than two dates, the last booking we receive from you will be automatically deleted and put back on the system.
We will not be offering a choice of which date to keep.
When you have made your booking, please wait for your confirmation email as there may be delays in receiving it due to the high volume of people on the website.
In the interest of fairness, the booking system cannot be altered by the Liskennett team and is controlled by an external booking system. All future release dates will continue to be posted on Facebook and St. Josephs Foundation Website.
*A note to all booking: Your seat is not secured until you click submit. Even though you have pressed "book now" it does not hold your seat, therefore if another person fills out the booking form quicker the slot will go to them.
If you fail to secure a booking, please email us at horseboy@stjosephsfoundation.ie or ring 083-4776179 and you will be placed on a cancellation list.
Thanks for all your support!
