What to expect

Enjoy a one hour relaxed ride along quiet country roads outside Westport, that lead to the wide, open strands of Clew Bay in County Mayo. Along the way, take in breathtaking views of the bay and its many enchanting islands, with the iconic Croagh Patrick, a mountain of deep religious pilgrimage and historical significance, rising proudly in the background.

As you ride along the shoreline, keep an eye out for seals basking on “Seal Rock,” and pass Dorinish Island, pronounced 'Dora Inch' Island locally, once owned by John Lennon of The Beatles fame.

These guided rides are suitable for beginners and riders with little or no experience. Your qualified local guide will provide clear instruction before setting out, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in the saddle.

Intermediate riders who are happy rising to the trot will also enjoy this scenic coastal trek, with sweeping views across Clew Bay and its islands.

Advanced riders can look forward to a more exhilarating experience, with the chance to canter across the open strand.

Riding hat and boots supplied at the stables.
