We visited Carrowholly Stables in Ireland, located just a short drive from Galway. Despite the rainy weather that is typical of Ireland, Carrowholly Riding Stables provided us with an incredible horseback ride through the countryside and along the shores of Clew Bay. Helena, our guide, was not only kind and helpful but also provided clear instructions. While my husband, who is a beginner, required a bit more guidance, I was still able to trot a little.
Although the clouds obscured some of the views, we were fortunate enough to catch glimpses of a rainbow, various shorebirds, and even some seals that Helena pointed out to us.
Carrowholly provided us with boots and helmets.
For future visitors, I highly recommend bringing gloves, a waterPROOF raincoat and pants to ensure that you stay dry and comfortable. Never let a little rain dampen your spirits and prevent you from having a great time.
