The experience at Carrowholly Stables was amazing. The people there were super friendly and the horses very calm and well-trained. Most of them are Irish Cobs, but they have other breeds too. We were in a group of 6 riders and some of them have never been horse-riding before. But they managed it quite well since we started of as a group with walking and then me and my sister could sometimes trot ahead and canter a bit and then we waited for the others to catch up or we rode a small part twice. We cantered a bit at the beach and even had the luck to see some seals. Back at the stables we got some tips for cafés in westport so they were also very helpful. And furthermore I think they offer the ride at a very fair price. We paid 40€ p.P (without tips) for a 1h ride at the beach. I would highly recommend it for everyone staying close to westport and even the 1.5h drive from Galway was worth it.

An amazing place!!! My husband and I did a group ride while on vacation and it was one of the best parts of our trip! The staff are extremely kind and organized. The day we were supposed to go there was bad weather and they timely contacted me to schedule a different date. Helena was EXCELLENT the day we went and helped us get situated and guided us through the ride. We were on the horses for a little over an hour and took a beautiful ride to the bay and even went through the water. She even took some photos for us! If you want to add a horse ride to your trip I highly recommend this one! You will not be disappointed :)

Fantastic wee morning with my 2 kids! I was very comfortable with the mixed ability ride and was confident to leave my son with a leader (typical boy and has no idea of her name!) and Alex and Emily were great- very knowledgable on the local area. I had a lovely wee canter and a gallop and I would come again if visiting Westport.
