Hooves Around Ireland: Discovery Ride

About the Trip

Join Hooves for an exclusive, small-group horseback adventure along Ireland's famous Wild Atlantic Way. The ranch is owned by a three-generation Irish family who have been breeding horses and riding these shores for years and years.

Beneath the dramatic shadow of Benbulben Mountain, you will spend 5 days in the saddle riding varied terrain. Match with surefooted Irish breeds—from powerful Irish Draughts to athletic Connemara Ponies, Cobs, and Sport Horses—as you charge along ocean beaches, cross tidal islands, and navigate bogland tracks.

Please note: Beach and tidal island riding always depend on the tide schedule. We have carefully chosen these dates around the tides, but each day’s route will be evaluated locally to ensure the best and safest riding experience!

After days on the trail, relax at a cozy seaside B&B run by a welcoming local Irish host. Enjoy comfortable shared rooms, breakfast, lunch (on the trail), and 3 home-cooked meals, a traditional Irish sheepdog demonstration, and an afternoon excursion to the coastal town of Strandhill.
