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.

Family Fun - Our family of 4 did the 1 hour trail ride. Peter, the owner and guide was funny and attentive. The horses were great and both our daughters ( 10&11) love every second of it.

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!!

Absolute Must Do! 100% Recommend. - Peter and his son JR were the best hosts to us. We got a taxi to the riding center and we got to meet the horses and his dog Bitsy! Our ride was made premium with the appearance of the sun, but it would have been a stellar experience if it was pouring rain. The views were incredible and the length of time was just about 2 hours. We were able to trot here and there, and I had such a great experience with our horses Jasper and Guinness. I could not recommend this experience more. 100% coming back on our next trip!
