- Intermediate/advanced 11/2 hrs beach ride We had lovely ride today with Susan, she was brilliant with two very rusty stiff ladies. The horses we were given were perfect, nice and steady and safe, but not plods, very responsive with lovely light mouths. Thank you for getting us back in the saddle and making our ride so enjoyable. Would highly recommend riding here to anyone looking for a relaxing ride.read moreread lessAnne Trent30/11/241 hour complete beginner November 21st 11am We had a wonderful experience- the care taken with our youngest and the whole experience was perfect.

- Beginners, Wednesday, 11th September 2024, noon It was wonderful. I forgot how much I enjoyed riding and posting in a trot! Cloe, our instructor, was extremely patient and helpful and friendly. I am seriously thinking of taking up riding again due to her help! If we lived near that area, I would certainly be going more often!
The only thing I wish we could have done was ridden on the beach, but I understand why that was not possible given my companion's skill level and my not riding for some time. I would love to try again and have the beach experience.read moreread lessSharon Heller28/09/242hr beach ride - Wednesday 18th @ 1:45pm Thoroughly enjoyed the 2hour beach ride on the beautiful Pongo!

This was our first time at the Donegal Equestrian Centre. I was really impressed by the quality of the tuition, the teacher really took the time to engage my daughter (who is generally a little shy, but loves horses!) and she felt so special afterwards. She learned a lot about kindness to animals aswell as receiving supportive instruction on handling the pony. She got so much out of this one hour lesson - thank you very much x

The staff is very friendly and informative and none of us felt uncomfortable nor rushed.
Thank you!!read moreread lessAnna Kelley14/08/23 - August 4 at 14:00 As my 9 year-old granddaughter and I tour the entire country of Ireland, this riding lesson was a complete surprise for her. I'm happy to say she was thrilled.
After researching all the equestrian centers in the country, I chose the Donegal Equestrian Center, because they had lessons for every skill level of rider. My granddaughter is a complete novice, while I, 50 years ago used to be an expert, but now consider myself, almost a novice.
Our trainer was highly skilled, patient, fun, and allowed each of us to work at accomplishing the skill, and techniques of sitting a saddle properly, controlling the horse, posting properly, and so much more. It was a very in depth, and wonderful first time experience for my granddaughter.
Thank you so much Donegal Equestrian Centre for igniting the spark for the love of riding in my granddaughter.
After not riding for 50 years, I realize there is a huge amount I have forgotten. It's not quite like riding a bike. It was wonderful to be on horseback again. It brought back so many memories and I'm glad to be reminded of how to do everything properly.
When we return home to the USA, I'll see about getting her riding lessons.read moreread lessPaige Christy05/08/23Half hour beginner’s ride Orla had a wonderful time with Fudge- everything was so well organised and pitched at the perfect level for a 4 year old beginner.

The instructor (and assistant) who brought us around (sorry we actually can't remember her name!) was fun, friendly and more than expert at her job.

It was really a lovely experienceread moreread lessJoanna Fabros29/06/23Saturday @1.45, an hour and a half trek Brilliant.. Arrived and were greeted by Roisin. Professional, reassuring and very friendly but very very competent and safety conscious. Introduced us to our horses, my lad was Clive.. A lovely well muscled and incredibly bidable horse, already tac'd up and ready to rock. The boss was on treacle another fine equine. It was great to see all the stock in such fine shape, horses really well cared for.
After an indoor trial to ensure we were horse ready we set off on an incredibly relaxing trek. The views were just spectacular with lovely hidden trails through the dunes toward the beach and an equally relaxing and enjoyable trek back home. We were treated so well by Roisin, never rushed and inspired confidence the whole way. Very chatty, pointing out local landmarks etc. And let us get comfortable with our mounts. I really didn't want to part with Clive when we got back to the yard. The absolute best way to spend an afternoon. A perfect experience from beginning to end.read moreread lessEimear Finnegan /Cathal Doyle25/06/23 - 1 1/2 Beginner Ride If this isn’t on your bucket list it should be!

- Had a great time, even tho the weather didn't hold up. Went all along the beach on the sand dunes...Not a bother to my horse Lightning ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 Highly recommended 👌👌👌read moreread lessAnthony Louth30/07/21Thursday 28th July, 3.30pm I arrived 30mins prior to our appointment, just to give my wanes a chance to get accustomed, as I explained what was going to happen with their lesson. My wanes were excited but nervous, their wee minds were put at ease, they were taken to get their boots and helmets by a lovely staff member. We were able to watch other children riding, as they waited their turn. As their appointment began a lovely young lady by the name of Caoímhe approached and had taken my wanes to meet their wee friends for the day - Jet and Fudge. Caoímhe taught my wanes as beginners how to mount, walk, turn etc their horses. Explaining that Fudge loves the Sun and yes she made her way to a sunny spot ☺️ and explained how Jet likes to munch when out on his walk, and yes Jet wanted to munch, much to my wanes delight. Caoímhe was very friendly, helpful and a genuine lovely young woman. My kids had a ball, and have told everyone who would listen about horse riding, hugging their wee horses and loving their horses they want to go back, every week. If we lived closer we would, but when we are in the area we will most definitely book in again. Highly recommend to all, and to all staff - thank you for your understanding with regards our exemptions, and making us feel at ease and welcomed.read moreread lessÁine McLaughlin30/07/21

Brilliant experience Myself and 3 teens enjoyed a beautiful hour long ride through the dunes. So relaxing. Our guide was lovely and our horses Sonny, Julia, Benson and Bertha were brilliant.
read moreread less16/07/21Learner Very professional, very friendly, and we new our children were in safe hands with staff. They were shown how to walk the pony, the handling of the rains, to gentle heal kicks, and how to trot the ponies. The staff member Caoimhe who took Abbey and Caoimhe out was very professional and showed the children all the basics before taking them out for a gentle walk with the ponies. We would seriously consider going back again while on holiday or just a day out.

Great experience. Very easy to book. Very professionally organised. Boys treated very well in the lesson and loved it (a bit too much, they want a horse for next birthday 😳) All covid guidelines were adhered to brilliantly and clear instructions were great and easy to follow. Becky was an excellent instructor. If we lived nearby we would be sending the boys for regular lessons. We all loved the experience.read moreread lessEdel Corsar13/07/21

All staff are very friendly and professional and very caring about the horses. It was a pleasure to watch Daisy getting more confident as the lesson progressed with guidance from the lovely girl who teaches her (sorry I didn't ask her name). Thanks so much and hopefully see you again. We did visit the same day last year. Keep up the good work. Take care and stay safe you guys.read moreread lessSuzanne O'Neill13/07/21
- We went for the beginners 1.5hrs trek as a family of 4 and had a fabulous experience. We were all asked to wear hair nets under our riding hats and there was a bucket provided for used riding hats after our trek in keeping with currently covid-19 hygiene recommendations. We were all provided with a horse and began with a quick 30 mins lesson in the arena to teach us the basics of mounting/dismounting, how to start/stop the horse and how to command your horse to turn left/right. Next, we led our horses out to the sand dunes where we spent an hour on our horses enjoying the breathtaking views of Donegal's coastline. Our guide was really friendly and knowledgeable about horses and checked in with all guests throughout the trek to make sure we were all comfortable. The horses we're extremely gentle and clearly well-cared for.
