Dromquinna Riding Stables

Set on Kenmare Bay along the Ring of Kerry road just a few miles outside of Kenmare, Dromquinna Riding Stables is a family run business providing guided treks and horse riding lessons taking in woodlands, mountains and sea.

First opened in 1949, Dromquinna Riding Stables is the oldest equestrian centre in Kerry, and one of Ireland's finest. A friendly and professional welcome is guaranteed, as the Crowley family brings more than 50 years of experience into the business, teaching and promoting the safe enjoyment of horse riding. The setting of Dromquinna Riding Stables is an equestrian paradise. Guided tours and treks are from one hour to full day (approx. 6 hours) and take in the semitropical coastline of the beautiful Kenmare Bay. Treks also go through rich woodland to the higher hills with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, including the Beara Peninsula and Killarney National Park.

Dromquinna's horses are well schooled and very reliable and friendly, many bred from their own stock. Rides are open to all levels of experience, from a total beginner to the accomplished rider, everyone is assured personal care, young and old. Children are welcome for a gentle introduction to riding on safe and friendly ponies.

If You Go: Dromquinna Riding Stables are open year round, Mon - Sat during summer and Wed- Sat during the winter months. Reservations are required. Western and English saddles available, boots and hats supplied. Long pants strongly advised.
