“Dingle Horse riding provided the right horse and the right venue, and I had a lovely lovely time with Rebecca on the beach. Scale of one to ten? It was a fourteen and a half! A very fine time. Thank you!”

"We did the beginner trial with my sister (we both dont have any experience in horse riding) and it was one of the best things happen to me so far in my life. Seriously! Views are stunning, instructors very friendly and helpful. !"

"All horses were in great shape and well mannered. The trek was stunning - the views are breathtaking. Our canter was exhilarating! Our guide was so kind and easy to work with. This was a fantastic experience!"

"They paid attention to and were able to make the ride personally fit my riding ability so I was able to have a lovely canter and a trot or two. I rode Heather who was very well behaved, a good listener and patient with my rusty riding skills."
