5.00Very well surrounded, depending on our level. Very friendly and very knowledgeable staff!!! Beautiful scenery, in the quiet, but too much and gallop on demand!
On top of the world on Horseback

5.00This was my 3rd time on a horse. What a great experience! 2.5 hours on a wonderful horse (Casey - the gypsy). We trotted, we stopped for picture opportunities, we saw the Cliffs of Moher from the top of the burren. It was magical. Our host and his staff were great!!! I'd go back in the instant. Such a good way to spend a couple of hours, relax and even inexperienced riders feel like they have been riding for years!
A must-do!

5.00This experience was terrific. The ride was 3 hours long and we covered a lot of distance, even though my husband and I are pretty inexperienced riders. I was sorry that we kind of held the rest of the group back (true riders) but Peter (the head guide and owner of the farm/business) was really great about everything. The views are truly breathtaking and the camaraderie was strong. The weather was changeable throughout (windy, foggy, rainy) but somehow that just added to the amazing-ness of the experience. I told Peter at the end of the ride that it was an experience of a lifetime and I meant it.

5.00Fantastic ride, really enjoyed the trot and canter. Peter and his team made the ride fun for everyone no matter how experienced the rider. Views were spectacular, local knowledge was unbelievable and the whole ride was absolutely fantastic. Special thanks to Oisin and Rusty for the safe and spectacular ride. Five thousand stars from Sally and Mike- Australia
Amazing horse ride!

5.00Great experience. Nice horses, beautiful views. Very accommodating for a group including experienced riders and one who had never been on a horse. Everyone enjoyed the day out and rode according to their abilities. Cannot recommended highly enough!
Great Ride for beginners and experts!

5.00We did the 3 hour horse riding, and absolutely loved it. We had a range of experience, from almost none to moderate, and they were great with getting us to hit all of our experience. We trotted, and our expert got to canter. We were all a little sore for a few days, but it wasn't so bad that it impaired any other activities (we did an hour long hike the next day). We had so many great pictures and views. The horses were great and the staff had expert eyes, slowing us down when we were getting sloppy and encouraging us to push our horse-riding skills. ~J.
