Riding through the woods was prestine and calming. Horses were well trained and staff super knowledgeable and very helpful. Getting here from Dublin was easy. Views of mountains and countryside offered a very Irish experience.

We had a fantastic trekking session with Killegar stables. Two adults and a seven year old, all absolute beginners. I can't speak highly enough of the team - they put us right at ease, were obviously hugely experienced and knowledgeable. Even though we'd never even sat on a horse before they put us through our paces in the arena and lead us out into the forest on an amazing walk through fantastic scenery. Wonderful bunch at Killegar stables.

My wife booked horse back riding for us during our trip to Ireland and we had a great time with our amazing guides, Holly and Clare (sorry, if I got a name wrong). They paired us up with horses that matches our experience (zero, lol) and we rode through a scenic Wicklow mountain trail. The animals were beautiful, well trained, and enjoyable to ride... and Mikey is a character! Definitely recommend for anyone interested or experienced. Thank you!

We were all beginners and they didn’t overcomplicate anything but still instructed us very clearly

Fantastic ride, everyone needs to do this. Your trip to Ireland is not complete without a ride through the countryside on a sweet horse! Clare and Connor are wonderful and even if u are not a horse rider, just set aside your fears and go for it!

Absolutely amazing! I loved going on their trails! We got to walk and trot through the forests and fields which was spectacular. The horses are super cute and love to munch on the branches near by. The people are super nice and are very interactive. I would highly recommend whether you ride western or English or even if you have never ridden at all to come here and ride. Once you get on and start going you never want to get off!
