Family Run Mountain&Beach Riding For All Levels Good Selection Of Irish Cobs Emphasis on Safety but above All else Fun Situated on The Dingle Peninsula
Reviewed By FlannoJ - County Kildare, Ireland
Our family of 3 went for a morning of riding through Ventry hills and beach last week. Due to how busy the beach was it was changed to the hill trek for safety reasons-it didn't matter one bit. It was a fabulous experience with beautiful and patient horses and spectacular views over Ventry bay and hills. The day itself was a lovely sunny one and it was a peaceful easy going trek. My husband and son were a little nervous to begin but the guides were great for putting us all at ease and took good care of everyone. I saw them disinfecting all the gear afterwards which was really reassuring. Thanks for a lovely morning guys! I really recommend it!!!

"Cead mile failte" Welcome to Sea View Equestrian, where you are warmly invited to experience our beautiful and peaceful corner of the Dingle Peninsula. We are situated in a small townland called Ballydavid a Gaeltacht (Irish speaking) area, only 5 minutes from Dingle town. It is known as one of Irelands most unspoiled gems. Our riding stables are to be found right underneath Mount Brandon where we boast stunning views of the Three Sisters and the Atlantic Ocean. Set on our farm that has been handed down through generations of family, we have kept the tradition and authenticity of the place going, with old stone buildings and stories of what it used to be like. Horses are our passion but we also keep a number of sheep, so depending on what time of year you visit us you may see lambs, shearing or the sheep dog rounding the flock up! At Sea View Equestrian we offer something for everyone, fabulous daily treks and riding holidays,small and personal groups, riding instruction, livery, training, clinics, competitions, farm and educational tours.

We searched for horseback riding on a whim as we were staging nearby and I can’t imagine not having done this as it was a true highlight of our trip. Katie and Sean were exceedingly friendly and approachable and made our ride personal by keeping it small (just my fiancé and myself), and asking us questions and answering ours. The views were remarkable- mountains with grazing sheep and streams where the horses took a drink. If you want something not touristy but still immersive and exciting, do at least an hour with these guys. Their dog, Snoopy, may even trot along beside you for the duration of your trip. Nothing could have been further from NYC, which was exactly what we wanted.
