I've been on many trail rides around the world but none have compared to this. The views are spectacular. At one point you can see the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands and Galway Bay with the mountains behind all in the same panorama. You also will ride past ruins that are hundreds of years old and see castles in... More

From the minute I arrived at the stable, the warmth and friendliness of host Peter was apparent. As an intermediate rider, Peter made an excellent choice of ride for me. Twinkle Toes, a gorgeous Connamara-Cob cross, was perfect. Over the course of four hours, I viewed spectacular scenery and Peter's knowledge of his area was interesting and informative. Peter's mother... More

The two of us novice horse riders spent a glorious hour trekking along the majestic North Clare coastline with the Cliffs of Moher and Aran islands plain to be seen. We could not have made a better choice than going... More

I did two , two hour long treks with Peter on Banjo . This is a beautiful way to see secluded areas of the Burren and the Clare coastline that would usually only be known to locals. Peter expertly guided us through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the country . I found it to be a real escape... More

Our family of four are not experienced horse riders, but Peter took great care of us by finding the most gentle, and well-mannered horses. Our decision to go horseback riding in Ireland was a last minute thing, and Peter and staff fit us into the morning schedule quickly. Our ride through the countryside was beautiful and worth the money spent... More

As lifelong horseback riders, my friend and I were looking for a great ride on our trip to Ireland. We were not disapointed at Mountain View!! Peter was amazing and paired us up with perfect mounts, Shay and Airge. Our first ride was a lovely 2 hour trip through the hills of Lisdoonvarna with views of the water and the... More

Wonderful experience!!!! I picked Mountainview for our horseback riding outing while visiting Ireland based on the reviews on TripAdvisor and was not disappointed. Peter and his staff were super friendly and accommodating. And the horses were great too! Beautiful, well mannered animals suited to various levels of riders. Stephanie guided our 2-hour trek and was so friendly, knowledgeable and fun.... More
