This was an amazing experience! We saw amazing views of Galway Bay, the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. We had the pleasure of touring with Peter, the owner of the riding center. He was amazing! Knowledgeable, fun and catered to our pace. It was my Aunt's first time riding in over 20 years and she was slightly nervous at... More

My wife, three young daughters and I all enjoyed the "hour" long ride. None of us are riders and Peter and his staff made us very comfortable. The horses are very easy going and obviously used to amatuers. The views were awesome and the ride a lifetime memory. More

Wife and I did this tour on an overcast/rainy day but she has been wanting to ride for months so I thought we'd roll the dice. Peter greeted us with warm smile and introduced us to our horses, Guinness and Max. We did 2 hour ride which it says is for riders with some experience, but he tailors his rides... More

We planned for everything - rain, hail, cold. What we got was the warmest day so far of the year and beautiful sunshine. Almost Five hours or so in the saddle with a break for lunch, great fun. Definately going to go back. Thanks to Peter, Steffi and Rebecca. More

She was concerned that we would be grouped with riders either far above or below our level. Fortunately we had the ride to ourselves, but there were other groups out that fell into both categories. Our guide Stephanie... More

Peter runs a professional and caring horse riding stable. Very accommodating to allow you to fit the rides into your schedule. The horses are all just beautiful and exceptionally well behaved. A delight to ride. Thank you 'Tinkerbell' for 3 hrs of fun. Thank you so much Steph and Peter for giving me such a lovely day before I had... More
