Set on the dramatic and beautiful west coast of Ireland, we specialise in two hour to week long riding holidays for experienced riders, taking in all the beauty and exhiliration of the mountains and beaches the Dingle Peninsula has to offer. We also offer one hour mountain rides for novice/beginner riders.Our horses are mostly Irish sporthorses, with some draught, cob and appaloosa, ranging from 14hh to 17hh. We pride ourselves in having happy, well-cared for and well turned out horses, friendly knowledgeable guides and great routes designed for both fantastic riding and views. Beginner/novice riders can only be taken on the 1 hour mountain ride. Only riders intermediate/advanced experienced in the English style of riding, able to post/rising trot and ride two point/forward seat in canter can be taken to the beaches. Riders will be assessed in the arena before leaving the yard, and during the one hour ride. In the interests of safety, and at the discretion of the guide, riders judged to be beginner/novice or inexperienced in an English style of riding will not be taken to the beach. « less

My daughter had many wonderful rides during the week and was always full of excitement at the views she encountered. She was lucky enough to see a sheepdog at work on the hillside ride. I felt confident in the staff as only riders deemed... More

Upon arriving, we were grouped with a foursome who were obviously beginners and after a nice easy mountain ride, we were told were were not experienced enough to be taken to the beach. I really feel the... More

We are only able to take experienced, intermediate/advanced level riders to the beach. In response to the above review, on the ride in question all riders were assessed in the arena and on the mountain ride. There were two guides and for second part of the ride the group was split according to ability. Although the writer of this review... More

We went on an hour long mountain ride. The people at the stables were very friendly and the horses were beautiful and well looked after. Everyone was on Irish Cobb horses which were fun to ride. The mountain ride wound up a mountain going past farm land and plenty of sheep. The views on the way up the mountain were... More

We really enjoyed an afternoon of horseback riding in Dingle. It is a great way to view the bay from the top of the hill! Bring your camera if you can hold it and ride! More
