The Equitation School (Irish: An Scoil Eachaíochta) is an installation of the Defence Forces.

The Army Equitation School was founded in 1926 by Judge William E. Wylie, a prominent member of the Royal Dublin Society, Quartermaster general Colonel Michael Hogan and President of the Executive Council (modern-day Taoiseach) William T.

[2][3] Russian riding instructor Colonel Paul Rodzianko, appointed Chief Instructor of the Equitation School (1928 to 1931) by the Minister for Defence, was instrumental in the early competitive successes of the Equitation School.

The Equitation School has helped the Irish team to numerous victories in the Aga Khan Trophy at the RDS Arena.

The Equitation School has contributed to the development of training and coaching in the Irish and international sport horse industry, with a number of programmes created by the school being adopted by national and international bodies as the standard.
