Dingle Horse Riding is a family run business. Located just a mile outside of Dingle town, it is a very popular destination for a horse riding holiday in Ireland, offering inclusive, residential, and post-to-post equestrian adventures.

Dingle Horse Riding is approved by A.I.R.E. (the Association of Irish Riding Stables) and is a member of Equestrian Holidays Ireland.

Dingle Horse Riding's traditional purpose built stables are located in the hills overlooking the Dingle harbour, just two kilometres from the centre of Dingle town.

Several horses are kept in the yard year-round with as many as 20 stabled during the summer months. They range in breed, colour and size from 15 hands to 16.2 hands. Dingle Horse Riding favours the Irish draught hunter/cob type for their sure footedness and turn of speed.

In Dingle Horse Riding the horses are handpicked for temperament and suitability. The guides are experienced and knowledgeable and are happy to help customers find the right horse for them to ride. The equipment provided is well maintained and suited to the type of horse riding on offer.

Dingle Horse Riding is pleased to offer a variety of riding options and caters for everyone from a beginner in search of a fun and memorable introduction to horse riding to advanced riders searching for exciting and challenging rides in open countryside.

Dingle Horse Riding offer a range of short treks, from one hour mountain treks to full day treks. Riding holidays range from 3 days to a full week on the beautiful Dingle Peninsula.

Dingle Horse Riding takes its riders along various routes around the peninsula during the three day to full week trails. Groups are kept small, usually about six riders plus a head guide. Most daily rides on the riding holidays take approximately five to six and a half hours depending on the pace, leaving at 10:00 and arriving at destination between 16:00 and 17:30 having stopped for a halfway break. Before starting your trek, a good breakfast is imperative.

For the first three days of the week long trail, you will explore the western area of the Dingle Peninsula. The horses overnight at their end-of-day destination on night one and two. The riders are collected each evening and brought back to the Townhouse in Dingle; this has consistently proved to be the most popular option for riders, however, if they wish to stay west (rural), that will be arranged too. After breakfast, the riders are driven back to join their horses and continue the trail.

After exploring the Dingle area, the rides cross the Conor Pass and the riders overnight at each destination.
