First visit to Ireland - This 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❤️ - Peter 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!

BEST Horseback Riding adventure EVER! - I 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.

Beautiful ride with great views. - It 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 best riding experience we’ve had in all our travels! - I’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.

Spectacular adventure - The views were amazing! Peter was such a nice man and exceptionally talented! He was very careful of rider safety, giving tips, and wisdom. There were two inexperienced riders in the group and they had a great time under his advice. The countryside was spectacular! This adventure was so worth it!!
