Horse Riding in Ireland?
 
It has always been a dream of mine to ride on the beach, I know of a couple of places to ride in Ireland, one in Waterville and another in Ventry I do believe. Can anyone tell me a good place to go riding while I'm in Ireland?

I know their are a few places that offer horse riding along beaches in both the Dingle area and Connemara. Not sure of the companies but you can do a search on them

When are you going? I teach riding in Georgia and one of my students is going riding in Ireland in 2 weeks, I can let you know what she thought once she gets back.

I'm going next summer- it'd be wonderful if you could let me know about what your student finds out! By the way- where in GA do you teach?

You'll be able to find the horses when you get there ... horseback riding is popular at a FRACTION of what we pay in the states. Check the local tourist board and notices in local shops.

I took a wonderful trip last year through Equitours to Sligo, Ireland for a week. (I did one this year in Provence which was fantastic) You ride on the beach, through the mountains and forests, by farms and through small towns and villages. They have a website under Equitours and also look up Cross Country International which is who I used for my France Trip. If you like to ride and want to do a riding trip this is the way to go.
