The whole experience was wonderful. The guides were kind, attentive and friendly. The scenery was like out of a picture book. The stable even provides boots for riders. Would strongly recommend this for anyone visiting the area!

The stables do a fantastic job of matching you with an appropriate horse and they ensure that you get to have a canter if you are capable. It was a beautiful way to experience they National park and learn some of the history. I would have loved the opportunity to purchase a t-shirt or polo as a memento of my ride. Something with the stable name and a picture of my horse Sophie or of the scenery.

They choose the horse based off of your size and experience level. As a beginner, they handed me my horse “Ree” and the woman said “He will protect you, he is best boy” … he required almost no direction but listened to everything I asked of him. He was perfect. I was able to enjoy the beautiful Irish landscape without worry, he truly was best boy and I was so grateful for this experience! [tip your guides!]

Unfortunately, we had quite the weather during our trip. The staff was excellent, making sure everybody was OK and did the best they could to give all of us a great experience. Even with the weather or not being friendly, the view from the water was amazing.

A very enjoyable horse ride with friendly guides and beautiful views of the national park. We spotted deers and elk on our ride!
