  My husband and I did a two hour trail ride. We absolutely loved it. The guides were great. Horses seemed to be well taken care of. Views were amazing!

  Great trail ride! They use English style saddles(not a surprise to my group), and they supply boots and helmet for the ride! Our ride guides were Lorraine and Shannon, and they did a great job of sharing information about local points of interest along the route. They also took the time to split off so that the more experienced riders could have a chance to try cantering, instead of just the walk and trot that the rest of the group stuck to.

  My husband and I did the 5 day Ring of Kerry ride and it was unbelievably wonderful. The people were knowledgeable and friendly. The horses were beautiful and very well cared for. I was able to see the beautiful county of Kerry and I really enjoyed getting to do some real riding- lots of trotting and cantering. They were very kind to my husband who had not ridden as much as I had and were able to let him take some breaks while the rest of us cantered on. What a wonderful establishment and great bunch of people. I only wish we had room on the plane to take Penny and Dillon home with us.

  My friend and I did the 2 hour ride and the scenery was beautiful but the ride itself left much to be desired. My friend is a beginner and had never ridden english before, and I have been riding my whole life, which we told the guides repeatedly. The guide at the front of the line did absolutely nothing to help my friend or tell us what was going on even though we were directly behind her. I was yelling instructions to my friend thinking that the guide might notice and pick up on the fact that my friend needed some help but she didn't. It seemed like it was maybe her first day? There was a very talkative, helpful guide who spent almost the entire ride toward the back of the line so we couldn't hear anything she was saying. People at the back of the line were also given the chance to canter but I was extremely disappointed that I wasn't given that option.
  
  This was a lovely ride if you're a tourist who just wants to be on a horse to take some pretty pictures, but as an experienced rider it was extremely disappointing. I would not ride here again.

  We always come back to Killarney Riding stables, when we visit Killarney. Safety is paramount here & great for the novice or experienced rider. Fantastic staff are what makes this a successful centre. Highly recommended 👍👍

  A grand experience that immersed me into Ireland's countryside in a totally different way. It was a birthday gift to my wife and I had no idea how to ride. The three guides on the two-hour tour were incredibly patient with me, even going as far as staying back with me.
  
  I had a great time and would do it again in a heartbeat.
