6 inexperienced riders(including a 3 year old) were well looked after whilst gearing up for our first ever pony trek into the Connemara hills. Our guide 'Tom' took us up the hills to see a beautiful view of Lough Corrib & surrounding areas. He was very knowledgable & most importantly he was very patient! More

Highly recommended if anyone is... More

I had a great time riding by myself with an excellent guide and horse. I didn't have proper riding boots, so the whole crew went out of their way to make sure I had appropriate riding gear.

I've been on a few "hacks" with Knockillaree Riding Centre and have to say they were great. The owner, Roger, was very laid back and nice but hugely knowledgeable and professional - he assessed our riding skills and, as I have riding experience, gave me a horse that suited my skills. My boyfriend, who has only ridden once or twice... More
