Horseback Riding

in A Week In... Ireland

My husband and I booked a tour for a Week In Ireland for May 2025. Has anyone done any horseback riding while on this tour? When it gets closer, I know we can check with the tour director, but we are getting excited about the trip. We will arrive a day early at the Dromoland Castle.

    To answer my own question, horseback riding at Castlefergus Equestrian is great! Sarah, who owns the property with her parents, was very accommodating and responsive to the many emails I sent her. Her horses are mild mannered and we did not need to constantly squeeze our legs or kick them to keep them moving. She asked if I wanted to trot a little, which I did and it was so much fun! We went for a one hour ride through the woods, fields with the sheep and along the river. The price of 95 euros per person included the riding helmets with a sanitary cloth, so you didn’t worry about wearing a hat that others have worn before you. The Dromoland Castle arranged for a taxi for transportation and that was 20 euros each way for both of us. Not only do you get to ride her horses, but also share a conversation with her about living in Ireland. The castle can make reservations for you or you can go direct, which I did.
