If you like Horses, then you will love this place. As well as a very interesting house museum, there is a coffee shop and a gift shop on site. Well worth a visit if in the Loughrea Area

My friend and I decided to make a trip out to Ireland since we'd been wanting to do a horse riding trip out of the country for a while, and we both take lessons and love jumping. We spent a week in Loughrea, which was such a cute, quaint little town about 45 min outside of Galway (which was a super cool little college town) and an hour from Shannon airport. Super easy drive also. We rode five full days at Dartfield, and it was incredible. We had such a blast and drastically improved our jumping. I couldn't believe some of the jumps we ended up doing, including water jumps. A few things to keep in mind. I do not recommend doing this if you are a beginner, you should have at least moderate jumping experience to enjoy the courses. That being said, neither Willie nor any of the girls that help out with rides will ever make you do anything you don't want to do. The girls we rode with, Abby, Johanna, and Bronya, were so amazing. It's incredible how fearless they are, and at such a young age. They taught us a lot, and took some great photos. We did a lot of trail riding through the scenic Irish countryside. We also did three separate cross country courses. Aille Cross was really cool with some challenging jumps. There's another course we did a few times which is on site at the stables. There are water jumps and a huge variety of other cool jumps. And then there's an area which has a ton of stone walls. These ponies and horses will jump anything. It was wet and cold the whole time, so make sure to dress appropriately. I didn't have a heavy enough jacket, but luckily there is an excellent tack shop on site. I may have splurged a lot more than necessary!! We did not end up doing the fox hunting after careful consideration. No matter how good a rider you are, it can be quite dangerous and is very fast paced much of the time. I would only recommend it for advanced riders. Andrea did a fabulous job keeping us informed of our confirmations and responding to any emails I had before arrival. If you are expecting a fancy stable with pristine horses that listen to your every little command, this may not be the place for you. But if you want a challenge, want to improve your riding abilities, and do something so different from what you're probably used to back home, I cannot recommend this place enough.

Thank you so much for your detailed and lovely review. It was great fun having you here and if you ever come back to this part of the world, maybe in Summer time :) I promise it will be a bit warmer - or lets say - the rain will be warmer too....
Hugs from Willie, all the bests, Andrea

If You want to horseride, have some good talks about horses and ponies, look at some equestrian antiques, have a look. If You have the chance talk to the owner Willy, the greatest Connemara pony breeder in the world, Enjoy his experience and his Irish humour.

I have been visiting this area for quite some years and thought when in Ireland this time would visit the museum and grounds to find out more about horses and let the kids ride out maybe and experience horses first hand. Alas, was not to be, after the initial first contact in visitors centre with a completely dis interested receptionist/host we made our own way out for a walk in the tracks. Alarmingly, our first discovery was a dead horse lying in the middle of a field!!!!! with other horses still grazing in the field...quite shocking for the children with us....tried carrying on but the piles of rubbish at the sides of the tracks contributed to the sense of unease and we made our way back to the car. We informed reception of the poor dead animal but then were besieged by two Irish Wolfhounds who were not on a lead and started on our two quiet dogs, on leads, after fighting them off , we eventually got back to the car un-scathed and made our escape - If I was writing a sit com, it would be great material but unfortunately my kids were with me and will remember the visit for ever more but for all the wrong reasons....hope they've moved the horse by now ....

Visited today 7/6/2015 on a deal voucher. I love horses and my husband bought the voucher as a treat. We turned up around lunch time and we were the only people there. As you walk in the center the reception is on the right and cafe on the left. It was unmanned but a young girl came through from the cafe to assist us. I found her to be polite and friendly and she tried to be informative about the museum route. We were led into a room were we were told there was a video to watch. The room resembled an auction room with lots of old junk and furniture sprawled about. An area had been cleared for some old chairs to sit on to watch the DVD, played on a very old television. Instantly we knew this place was either struggling. The museum is not very large but the first couple of rooms are interesting and some effort has been made. However, it is not very interactive and I doubt would hold a child or young persons attention very well. There is advertisements for other activities but none were talking place that day. Some activities you are meant to book in advance but for the passer by there is not a lot happening.
We then met the blacksmith and he invited us in to look around his workshop and he was friendly enough. After that there was a couple of old storehouses that had been done out in an attempt to look like and old fashioned blacksmiths and a farm house. However, there was no explanation for these two rooms and I didn't really see much point to them. I felt they were just a filler to try to extend the experience.
There is a shop and if you are an equestrian then you will find a good supply of riding equipment. Finally we ended in the cafe where the same girl from the start gave us a tea and coffee. There was evidence of it being a more functioning cafe but there did not appear to be anything on offer for us that day above hot drinks and a snack bar or crisps. I don't blame them if all the custom they got is us. The cafe appeared clean and tidy but unfortunately the same could not be said for the toilets. There was loo paper all over the floor and the toilet bowls looked like they hadn't been cleaned properly for the last month! Very unpleasant. With the lack of people I could not understand this.
When we left we were told we could go around the side and see some horses in the stables or in the corral. We went around to take a look. The stable seemed in a poor state. Similar to that of the toilets!!! There were two horses, a small calf? and in the end stall two large Irish wolfhounds in sorry surroundings. I felt a bit sorry for all the animals simply because the floors were filthy and there was no fresh straw. One of the horses, a grey with a deformed foot, seemed a little on the thin side to me. I felt sad for him and I hope that he wasn't being written off just because of his foot.
We then went up to the corral were there were about 20 horses in a very small space. It was clear they all did not like the close proximity to one another. There was definitely some tension and stress between the horses. One of the horses had an injured leg and the wound had not been seen to as there was dried blood down the leg so it hadn't 'just' happened. I went to report this injury to the girl at reception who to be fair came to inspect the horse. She told me it was probably one of the other horses that had bitten it. She said she would take him in the stable and call the vet but it was just as we were leaving so I have no idea if this was carried out. I did kind of feel like I had done the horse a disservice with the stable being in such a state.
The other horses were ok I enjoyed being able to pat them over the gate (I'm an animal lover so obviously I would) but they all looked like they could have done with a clean up! They were covered in mud and had matted manes. The lack of staff around the place was apparent. I know it was a Sunday but with that many horses and being open to the public I would have expected to see a groom or someone! There was certainly work in need of doing.
We didn't pay a lot as we got a deal voucher but I was disappointed. The place has the promise to be something much better but it seems to be neglected. There is a plaque at the entrance to the museum that talks about Willie the founder and how the museum is his dream. Whoever is running the dream is letter the guy down. It appears that they think it will run and maintain itself.
Maybe the riding experiences are better??

We saw the brochure in our B&B in Galway about this, so we drove the extra 45 km to this Centre. In the brochure the information was quite misleading as it did mention that some of the activities were only 'pre-booking' ones....what they forgotten to say was that the most interesting ones were not for individuals. The entrance fee for adult is 6€50 and you get 2 video's, a sort of museum, bric-a-brac and a demo of the blacksmith (but he hires the place and works for himself .....). We hardly saw any horses when we walked around. When we asked if we could book a ride the answer was no because the owners weren't there, the question when the demo of the sheepdog was and a tour with horse and carriage....the ansers were negative as they do that for groups to be pre-booked. The 'restaurant' was probably also for pre-booked groups because there wasn't much to be ordered. The shop was nice. After my complaining about paying 23 euros in total for not much...I got a refund of half of the amount which was fair enough which the shop attendant who was busy making sandwiches for herself ordered to the very nice blacksmith. We drove the extra kilometers for nothing which is a shame only by mislead of the brochure. I would strongly recommand the owners to be frank and clear about what is possible and not for individual people to avoid these kind of things.

Disinterested receptionist, a dead horse in the field, rubbish strewn around the area we walked in, my 2 dogs, who I had taken into the reception area when we got there, were attacked by the two Irish Wolfhounds who reside there when we went back in to the reception to report the dead horse, was told by a lady who I think might have been a riding instructor there that I shouldnt have my dogs in there anyway in a very rude manner, my dogs were on leads the whole time and very well behaved and clearly she didn't have proper control over the Wolfhounds. She then proceeded to hold one of the dogs by the collar and just let the other one stand in front of us whilst expecting us to leave, completely ridiculous. I don't have a problem with dogs not being allowed in there but put a sign up and/or tell me as soon as I walk in with them, I had my friend and her kids visiting from the UK and it wasn't a pleasant experience for any of us, especially my dogs! We had to laugh at the big sign outside 'Visitors Welcome', yeh right.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Unfortunately horses do die at some stage, as for this pony you are talking about, at 28 years of age. As we let our ponies/horses retire here in our fields, instead of sending them off as soon as they are no use for work anymore, we do have dead ones sometimes. As they are not as small as a pet you can't just carry them away easily and you have to inform dedicated companies to pick them up. This had already happened when you were here and the pony was picked up later that day.
Our two wolfhounds are the most gentle giants and we have many visitors with dogs all the time - never a problem. Rhina in particular is very old and suffers from atrithis, only for that reason we were not very happy when your two dogs jumped on her and pushed her to the ground and she could not get up anymore. The amount of hair your dogs pulled out of her was enormous when we cleaned our reception area afterwards, as your dogs had left the ground extremely dirty and wet - dangerously slippy for our other customers. On a dry sunny day we would probably not even mind the dogs in this area for a short time but the day was awful wet as you know yourself. We even understand that your dogs probably reacted aggressive only because they were afraid of the big wolfhounds and they thought attack would be the best defense.
As you had not even been visiting the museum, just walked around our yard, you are very welcome to call for a free guided tour through the museum and if you give us a ring before we will bring Rhina and Fin in their pen in order for your dogs to be walked in the yard.

My friends and I had long planned a riding holiday in Ireland and had chosen several destinations through word of mouth and the internet. Dartfield was one that we saw online and it looked delightful. We are lifelong riders and were looking forward to exploring the gorgeous countryside on horseback. You could tell that this facility had once been lovely, but now required a great deal of TLC. The horses were pleasant Irish hunters but ungroomed. Our guide for our two hour hack was a lovely young girl who seemed to struggle to fill up the time, taking us through unbelievably muddy forest trails, across the beautiful windswept fields and then curiously, down a road before backtracking to get back to the barn on time. We had booked two days of riding here but cancelled the second. The potential is here but requires significant effort to replicate the images on the brochure.

The ‘Irish Horse museum’ as it is styled may once have been a highly crafted racehorse when it was launched in 2001, but now resembles an old nag that has been put out to pasture.
It would seem that the side of the business that organises horse trekking holidays and local tacks receives quite good reviews, but the museum....
Rather than making this a rather unseemly rant I would like to offer a few suggestions for improvements. I hope that this is taken in the spirit it is intended, as supportive. The buildings themselves are sound and attractive, but much else needs bringing up to the level that is expected of a modern tourist attraction.
1) Entrance area. When I visited the entrance area contained hedge cutting equipment (surely a health and safety issue if not just unsightly) and a collection of both real and model dogs. And this is supposed to be a horse museum ? Some pleasant music would not go amiss either.
2) Arrival. Staff training needs improving here. Someone schooled in the Gallic charm school (I’m being sarcastic here) who looked both mystified and bored at the same time was not the best advertisement for the establishment. The building was also left unstaffed for at least 20 minutes during our visit. This is not acceptable and would also be a security concern.
3) Cleanliness. Some exhibits simply looked dirty. The place may act as a retirement home for horses outside, but it shouldn’t be for spiders as well.
4) Video room. The video talk about the horse in Irish society was made in 2001, with much of the ‘up to date’ footage being dated even then. It needs a re-edit and to be projected with more modern equipment rather than being shown on a television that was hand-made by John Logie Baird himself. Quite why it is shown in a room that also acts as a antique shop was also quite inexplicable. The ‘horse art’ in the room for sale was acceptable (if not to my taste) and this could have been easily supplemented with prints / copies of works by famous artists from around the world who have used Irish horses in their compositions.
5) Vehicles room. This room had some good exhibits, but there was a lack of context and background for them. Audio explanations or at least appropriate sound tracks would have enhanced the experience.
6) Veterinary science exhibit. This section looked especially dated and staid. It rather put one in mind of a Chinese municipal museum used to teach medical students in the 1980’s.
7) Metalwork area. This area at least had a real life person in it ! and he was a delight to chat with. Unfortunately the vast majority of his work is non-horse related. The area needed something to bring it back to the Irish horse, perhaps demonstrating how a horse shoe is made would be a good idea.
8) Cafe. Coffee from supermarket own brand tins is just not acceptable in 2015 for a cafe. This area needs serious attention.
9) Dead horses. I understand the problems that the death of any farm animal can cause. I live next to a farm myself. Several of the worst reviews on tripadvisor talk about children witnessing the sight of a dead horse on arrival. A simple tent over the animal before the removal people arrive would prevent such incidents (and reviews) occurring again.
10) Other suggestions : Incorporate other ‘fun aspects’ related to horses. E.g games involving horseshoes, riding simulators etc. It may have been possible to arrange visits to animals in the stables or even a short pony and trap ride, but I didn’t see any evidence that such services were there. Children prize interaction with animals above anything else at this sort of attraction. Many ‘children’s farms/ pet farms’ manage this perfectly well in this country.
It might also be possible to construct an ‘trail’ around the estate (which is to be fair quite beautiful) to view some of the impressive structures on the three-day eventing course.
Summary
I could not possibly give any other rating than ‘terrible’ to this place. What is so disappointing is that a combination of a good clean, staff training and more attention paid to the visitor experience could have significantly improved the rating.

Last summer while in Galway we booked here for our 9 year old who loves horse riding, however there was a mix up in our booking and she didn't get to go. So this summer we promised her a visit here and booked in advance and were offered any time on the Saturday. The day before we were due to arrive we were rang and asked if we could come on a sunday instead of a Saturday as the had a large tour booked in, we declined but accepted a later time slot. On arrival there was ample car parking and two huge Wolfhounds which are impressive. We went into reception which is dirty, and we're informed our booking would be delayed, and were offered tea/coffees while we waited in the coffee shop. The coffee shop is dirty and and apart from some chocolate bars is un stocked. This place if it were cleaner could actually be really lovely and a destination for families stop at and enjoy, the coffee shop has so much more potential than what it is at present. When we did eventually get riding horses, it was enjoyable for our girl and Charles was very nice and polite and showed interest in what he was doing.
