The five day ride with Drummindoo Stud was amazing! The horses were excellent quality and well matched to the riders. Padraic was a charming host and ride leader, the scenery was outstanding, and each day offered new terrain to explore. Loved every minute of it!

Lovely stables with well looked after ponies & horses. Our daughters (8 & 10yrs) were complete beginners on lead reins but felt at ease for the whole ride. Owners very friendly & professional. We will be back!
