DAY TREK ITINERARIES


One Hour Mountain Ride - Cnoc an Chairn
Our one hour mountain trek goes up and over the hill behind the stables, giving spectacular views of Dingle, the harbour and beyond. On a clear day you can see Macgillycuddy's Reeks and Skellig Michael. This ride is suitable for beginners, the horses are surefooted and reliable. For experienced riders there are places for trots and canters and the group may be split if there are mixed abilities.

This is a one hour long trek which departs daily at 11:00 & 2:30.
Cost €35 per person............currency converter

This trek is intended for, but not restricted to, beginners........ Judge your riding ability.

One and half hour beginners trek available on request: Cost €50 per person

Two Hour Mountain and Beach - Dingle Beach
Our two hour ride is a good option for experienced riders who don't have time for a half or full day ride. The first hour follows the same route as the one hour on the mountain above Dingle. The second hour rides down through the town and onto the beach by the mouth of Dingle Harbour. Fungie is often spotted as we make our way along the sand towards Hussey's Folly Tower, although on the way back we may be going too fast for wildlife watching! These rides usually leave the stables at 11am, and are tide dependent. If the tide is high we have an alternative route for the second hour, which has a place to canter and fords the river at Milltown before returning to the stables. For mixed ability groups it is good to ride together for the first hour, before the experienced riders can enjoy an increase of pace for the second hour whilst those less experienced can return to the stables and recover their legs.

This is a two hour long trek which departs daily at 11:00.
Cost €65 per person...........currency converter

It then follows the back roads to the huge sandy beach of Ventry, where the horses love to go for a gallop. The ride then returns to the stables, fording Milltown river along the way.

This is a three to four hour trek which departs at 10:00 each morning with a minimum of two riders.
Cost €100 per person...........currency converter
