Business Owner

Hi, I’m Ronan and it’s my pleasure to be your guide during our Wolftrek. We named the business after the last wolf in Ireland that became extinct in 1786, this was the golden age of the Irish horse. Back then, the horse used for everything from warfare to pulling ploughs, we want to tell you this story. We’ve research some of the hidden and forgotten history of the noble horse in Ireland. Hear how some old traditions still echo through to our modern world; for example how the horse dictates the way we drive our cars!
