Welcome to Dingle Horse Riding. Set on the dramatic and beautiful west coast of Ireland, we specialise in two hour to week long riding holidays for experienced riders, taking in all the beauty and exhiliration of the mountains and beaches the Dingle Peninsula has to offer. We also offer one hour mountain rides for novice/beginner riders.

3 day post to post - Connor Pass, Castlegrogory and Inch.

Many riders combine the 3 day post to post with the Ventry, Murieoch and Dingle Beach rides to make a 6 day riding holiday, of which two nights are spent away (one in Cloghane and one in Camp village), and the other nights are in Dingle town. These rides take in the best of the scenery and beaches that the Dingle Peninsula has to offer. These rides are for experienced riders only.

The Connor Pass Ride is the first day of the 3 'away' days during the post to post riding holiday.The ride leaves the stables in the morning and follows the Pilgrim's Route across the mountains to the east of Brandon Peek, finishing for the night in the village of Cloghane wear guests stay in O'Connor's Guesthouse. In good weather the views from the Connor Pass are impressive to say the least. The terrain is challenging, at the highest point we cross the pass at 400m, but the horses are sure-footed, and don't worry I won't make you take it in turns to open the numerous gates, that's my job!



The second day sets out from Cloghane, following the road as far as the beach at Fermoyle. This is the ride that covers the most distance, with many miles of unbroken beach to Castlegregory, where we stop for lunch at Ned Natterjacks, followed by more beach riding in the afternoon as we make our way to Camp, where riders will spend the night at Finglas House, with their evening meal provided at Ashe's Bar.



The third day leaves Camp village and follows the bog road through Glen na Geaillt, the Valley of the Mad, coming down onto the famous beach at Inch. After lunch at Sammy's on the beach we continue along the high road with magnificent views across Dingle Bay. This ride finishes in Annascaul from where the horses return to Dingle by horse box.
