Horseback riding in Connemara

Hi,

We‘ll be in a cottage at Lough Mask in county Mayo the first week of August (if COVID allows). We will make day trips to the surrounding of course (any special hints?).
As my wife loves horses she would like to do some horseback riding, preferably on the famous Connemara Ponies. While she and my daughter have some riding experience, my son and I nearly have none, so would be good to have someone handguiding the horses for us.
Does anybody know a good place to go to for this?

Thanks,
Kai

Hi Kai,

That is a fantastic plan. Connemara ponies are wonderful and there are several options both for beginners and advanced riders. Some options include:

• Errislanan Manor Riding 
• Connemara equestrian escapes
• Cleggan Beach riding

Also, on the article on Equestrian holidays on the ireland.com website, there is plenty of information about horse-related activities in Ireland.

I hope you find this information useful.

Have a great day,

David
