During the Autumn and Winter we are closed on Sunday. We offer the Cnoc an Cairn ride by appointment at 12.30 daily Monday to Saturday.

The Cnoc an Cairn mountain trek takes you into the hills behind Dingle with views of the Atlantic Ocean and its rugged off-shore islands.

This trail is suitable for beginners; our horses are surefooted and reliable. On the brow of the mountain we split the group according to ability; experienced riders are taken on the canter track while beginners continue on the scenic route.
Cost : €35 per person.

During the Autumn and Winter we offer Our Two-Hour mountain and beach trail and the Half-Day trail by appointment; these treks are suitable for Intermediate and advanced riders only.

The two Hour Mountain and Beach trail is a great option for experienced riders who don't have time for a half day trail. This ride is tide dependent so departure time changes daily to catch low tide.
Cost: €65 per person.

The Half day trek is tide dependant and is suitable for intermediate and advanced riders only.
Cost:€100 per person.

It is essential to book the two hour and half day trails in advance. Please complete our online booking form to confirm these trails.

Directions to Dingle Horse Riding from town centre:
From Main Street continue up Goat Street to the top of the hill, at the apex of the hill directly after Ash Mount Terrace turn right and follow this road for a Kilometre where you will see us up on the right through the red gates.

Drive time: 5 minutes / Walk time: 20-25 minutes.

 

Important notice regarding Beach Riding.
We do not bring Beginner or Novice Riders to the beach; Beach riding requires Intermediate level, English style and a good level of horse riding fitness. Please give us accurate information about your riding, health, weight and fitness and note that riders will be assessed in the arena before we leave the yard. 

We do not have western or stock saddles. Here at Dingle Horse Riding we use direct rein and post the trot so it's imperative that western riders take English riding lessons and master the rising trot, plus are competent with the English style of rein contact, before commencing their riding holiday. 

Our Mountain treks suit Beginner and Novice riders. These treks take us into the Mountains behind Dingle, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with its Rugged offshore Islands. Here we overlook the most Westerly point in Europ
