I would thoroughly reccommend this riding stables to anyone! A friend and I had a package with them for a 3 day trip and enjoyed every second of it, wish we could have stayed longer!! Everyone at the yard was really friendly and made us feel like part of the gang. They matched us really well with our horses and... More

We loved our time with Island View Riding Stable. I work with horses on a daily basis and was most impressed with the ride that we had and the quality of life that the horses had. We had an amazing ride on the beach, in a pasture, through a village and were surrounded by amazing scenery. We also witnessed the... More

Had a wonderful time on my trek with Island View Riding Stables, and got a great horse to ride. Scenery was beautiful, and enjoyed riding on the beach and through the Irish countryside. My only small disappointment was that our guide was a German lady, who was only in town for a few weeks. She was quite nice, but being... More

Great staff, well behaved horses, beautiful scenic treks for all riding abilities, and riding towards a rainbow with every direction are all the ingredients needed for memories to last a lifetime! More

Unfortunately, my experience with Island View was not nearly as enjoyable as some have expressed. When they put my mom on a horse that hadn’t been out of his stall in several weeks, he bolted and threw her. (And this was AFTER she had told the guide that he was excitable and hard to control… The guide did nothing.) So,... More

I am sure there has been a mix up with another riding stable. I am not aware of any such incident. I would like encourage the reviewer to contact me so that I can verify this . We pride ourselves in having very gentle, well mannered horses suitable for all levels of riders and we would NEVER put a beginner... More

I enjoyed 3 amazing rides at Island View Stables while on vacation in Irleand. It is impossible for me to pick a favorite one because the Island Trek, the Mullaghmore Coastal Ride, and the Gleniff Horseshoe ride were all spectuacular! Galloping on the beach for the first time in my life and jumping some small stone walls on Dernish Island... More

We enjoyed a one hour beach ride but they also offer a 2 or 3 hour beach and bog land ride, special island trek (4-5 hrs), and all day ride. Suitable for any age or ability ( as a novice I appreciated the calm mount I was given), the English saddles were no problem, the scenery was gorgeous. More
