5.00We did the 2 hour ride through the surrounding Forrest with views of the cliffs, the Atlantic. It was an amazing experience to not only ride horses in the Irish countryside but to also learn so much about an area that is steeped in history. Peter paired us up with horses based on our experience level and was a wealth of knowledge. As a rider, I came in hopeful and was completely blown away by both the horse’s care and the quality of the entire experience. We cantered through the Forrest and the learned about the surrounding area, even identifying the local school house and famine ruins. I was very fond of the horse I was paired with. Romeo was adorable, cheeky, and every bit the perfect boy. Katrina was a sweet guide who took her time to chat about my horses back home, while also sharing fun facts about the area. The tour was a dream come true for me and a great reprieve from our busy lives at home. It was surreal and I look forward to snagging another opportunity to visit and ride with the team again!
Peter is amazing and so...

5.00This was the best trail ride I have been on. The owner accompanied us on the ride. We laughed the whole way. My son and grandson are both 6'4 and they had the equipment to accommodate them. Also the experienced riders did a lot of trotting and cantering. The views were breath taking. Add this to your travel list.
Perfect experience and happy horses❤️

5.00Peter was amazing with the horses and us riders! We had a mixture of experienced and beginner riders and the guides really had considered that beautifully; we got some great canters in, while beginner ones stayed to trotting and walking, and everything we t so smoothly. Horses were wonderful, one can see that they are very well cared for and trained. This kind of an experience can p ly be created with happy horses. Nice trail with some scenaries on the way, and Peter made it very fun and safe fir everyone. Highly recommed!

5.00I love horses and seeing beautiful Ireland on the back of a horse was perfect. Peter, owner and tour guide, is personable, funny, supportive, and considerate. He was regularly asking questions to make sure that we were okay and having a good time. He would make conversation to add enjoyment to the ride. We got to canter the horses if we were comfortable. The country side was breathtaking. We would even stop on occasion to let the horses graze and have the chance to take photos of the miraculous views. I would recommend this ride to beginners or experts. The ride is a perfect way to see Ireland.
Dream come true!

5.00It was great ride with plenty of time to enjoy the views. The owner and guides were very nice. When I got hurt during the canter (due to underlying health issues), they were very concerned and understanding. The rest of the ride they let me ride at the back of the group and just walk and trot for the rest of the ride, which meant I could still enjoy the experience. I do recommend having some horse-riding experience when booking this.
The guides are patient...

5.00I’ll start with Peter and the girls helping him were some of the best guides. Full of life & love of the land and what they do. Such pride and care for the land and the Horses. Beautiful horse's Gypsy Vanners and Connemara. The 2hr ride was great! Trail riding, trotting and Cantering. What a great day! Peter was very attentive, making sure that even though we ride that we had a perfect ride. I would highly recommend this tour they offer 1,2&3 hour rides. We look forward to seeing Peter again next time we are in Ireland.
Family Fun
