"Pure Exhiliration! The most exhilarating riding experience ever!" -HORSE ILLUSTRATED Magazine

Day One: Sunday

Arrival. Make your way up to the Stables for an afternoon ride at 2:00. Today's ride sets out from the Stables and heads into the hills overlooking Dingle Bay. From the crest of the hills you will see the Dingle Peninsula stretching away from you towards the Western horizon - a sneak peak of the views to come in the next few days. You then head down through town and out around the Harbour where you have a good chance of seeing Fungie, the Dingle dolphin. You make your return to the Stables via Main Street, passing numerous pubs and restaurants that you might want to visit when the ride is over.

Day Two: Monday

Today you leave the stables and follow the Harbour coast overlooking Lord Ventry's Estate (the setting for much of the film Ryan's Daughter) before turning inland to make your way to the village of Ventry. Once there, you head out onto the beach for a gallop, which will earn you a well deserved break for lunch in Páidi O'Sé's Pub. After lunch you set out to make your way up Mount Eagle. The going can be difficult, but it will be worth it when you get to the top and see the breathtaking view of Dunquin and the famous Blasket Islands beyond. From here you turn and head home to the Stables for the night.

Day Three: Tuesday

Today you are headed to the most westerly landfall in Europe . You leave the stables and cut across the Dingle Peninsula , making your way to Muireach, in the shadow of the Three Sisters. Here you have your first gallop of the day. Your second gallop is at Beal Ban, after which you head into the village of Ballyferriter for lunch at Tigh an t-Saorsaigh. After lunch you leave Ballyferriter to return home, stopping at the ancient monastery Gallarus Oratory on the way.

Day Four: Wednesday

This morning you leave the stables and head inland across the Brandon Mountain Range via the infamous Conor Pass. Mount Brandon is the second highest peak in Ireland , and from a neighboring summit you will see a spectacular 365-degree view of the Dingle peninsula and a vast panoramic of Brandon Bay. You make your way down the mountain and head into Cloghane for a pint and a chat at a local pub. This is also where you will stay for tonight and dinner is included this evening.

Day Five: Thursday

Today you leave Cloghane for the beautiful beach at Fermoyle to spend the day cantering and galloping along the ten mile sandy beach. Next, you set out across the peninsula to Inch and the magnificent beach there. Inch Beach is world famous as one of the most spectacular beaches in the world and attracts all types of water sports, surfing, snortling, fishing, gliding, and of course horse riding. You stay and dine in Inch tonight and sleep to the sound of the waves.

Day Six: Friday

Today we visit Inch beach again for a brisk morning gallop before heading for Anascaul for lunch and pint in Tom Creen’s South Pole Inn. From there it’s down the peninsula to the second beach of the day in the shadow of the beautiful Minard Castle. Then it's home to Dingle for one last evening in Dingle.
