5.0010/10. This horse riding experience was a favorite of ours! The guide, Peter, made the whole experience with his warm, welcoming, and charming nature putting all of us beginners at ease as we saddled up for the first time. He took the time to learn each of our names and checked in with us multiple times on the ride to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. The grounds and barn were definitely cared for by thoughtful staff and the horses were well-trained, respected, and healthy animals. Highly recommend adding this adventure to your trip!
A fun Afternoon!

5.00Peter was wonderful and really helped keep us all at ease, especially our son! None of us had ridden English saddle before, so that was interesting, but with Peter and his crew’s guidance we were able to have a lovely ride! He had great suggestions for dinner and where to go to see the sites afterwards. We would absolutely recommend!
Excellent

5.00One of the best experiences I’ve ever had! The owner Peter was just the absolute sweetest and was patient with me even though this was only my second time on a horse. He was checking in to make sure everyone was ok but without making anyone feel like we weren’t capable of riding. And the views and stories we got to experience were just absolutely beautiful!
Perfect family afternoon!

5.00Peter, his son Jr, Clara, and Amelia were WONDERFUL!!! I wish I could rate this more than 5 stars because they’re incredible. Peter made all the riders feel at ease since there were varying levels of experience, he was witty and making jokes the whole time, the views were spectacular, and the horses were so sweet and just such an overall blast! Visiting them on your trip is a MUST! You won’t regret it! - Alana (the deputy)

4.00Very friendly and kind staff. Had a nice ride although should do the 2h if wanted to see the views. Went out of their way to arrange a taxi for us to return to Galway.
Absolutely #1 Horseback Riding Stable in Ireland.

5.00Our family of 10, 5 adults and 5 children ages 7-12 spent the last nine days touring through Ireland and every one of them told me that their favorite part of the trip was the Mountain View Horse Riding Trip. This facility has been rated #1 in Ireland for the past 15 years and there is good reason for it. Peter, Emily and Charlotte went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. They made sure that everyone from age 10 through 70, had the ride of our lives. I highly recommend that if you’re considering a horseback riding adventure this is the only place to go. We’ll definitely be back on a future trip. Peter and the entire team are FANTASTIC!
Beautiful views and Peter...
