The stable managers were very helpful in matching horse to rider and helping with getting on. I was very happy to have the extended ride and the trek was worth it! The route was super muddy because of rain earlier in the night. For about half the trip, we didn't have an exact path and wove through the forest/countryside. The horses were definitely exhausted by the end of our journey, but continued to respond fairly well to requests.

Out of my 5 Irish tours, this was by far my favorite. This is the perfect little trip just outside Dublin. Be prepared to have the group split up between horseback riding, hiking, and another short activity. We participated in horseback through Killigar Stables and had a great time. We made a lunch stop in a little town at Poppy's Country Kitchen.

Horses were perfect. Stable provides helmets and boots. (Those horrible ballistic riding vests are NOT required--thankfully). You are in Ireland so be prepared to ride in an English saddle and direct rein your horse (no western style neck reining). Notify tour if you prefer walk/trot or wish to belong to a canter group. While I'm capable of a gallop, I preferred choosing a leisurely walk/trot. Non riders are taken to other activities while we rode. We joined up again for lunch, which we chose to eat at Poppy's cafe and sit outside in the beautiful courtyard. Bring cash (Euros) if possible for these small businesses although they happily accept cards as well. Then the tour resumed through the Wicklow hills/mountains, stopping several times including a stop at Guiness Lake. Driver/guide was excellent!! (Tip: make sure to get all restrooming done before the drive begins as I don't recall places to stop en route) Lovely van tour ending at Glendalough where there is a place for refreshments, toilets, a bit of shopping. Also there's time to walk through the monastery ruins and walk to the lake, which is stunning. Price is reasonable for all that is included. We were returned to Dublin timely. Overall, a great experience, especially for horseback riders as these horses are not the "nose to tail" lethargic horses so often found in the US. very enjoyable day!

Spacious, well maintained and with in-and-outdoor riding rings, this is the place to go for introductions, refreshers or Olympic-grade riding lessons. Each grouping is managed well by centre staff and experienced students -watching a group of under-tens take their first few trots around an indoor ring, I was delighted by the positive encouragement of the instructor (and the high level of safety -lead holders for every horse waiting to help, protective vests and helmets all around... I don't remember all that in my horse camps!). Prices for adult instruction hover around the €30 mark. €32 for an assessment and a prepay 12 lesson package comes to about €27 per session. Kids Pony Play 40 minute sessions are just €20 and can be scheduled lesson by lesson - a great way to get a kid in the saddle without committing to more sessions than they might want. The centre isn't just for instruction though, and a brisk trade in horse-themed parties, day camps, shows and other horse-related activities. The community that's grown up around the venue is positively encouraged with canteen and cafe facilities, outdoor areas for picnics, plus an open and spotless livery barn where horses and ponies are stabled between riding sessions (and always appreciative of a well-mannered hello and gift of apples or hay). In better weather I'll be up here with boots and helmet on, till then I'll huddle on the sidelines!

It can get very busy at times, however I have never experienced that people - especially those who come for the first time- were not given the required attention. I have seen various yards and clubs where the long established members acted like they were having a "private function" and where new people don't really felt welcomed. This is absolutely not the case with the Paddocks, staff and all other people are lovely and very welcoming. They have a lot of different horses (maybe 50?), from tiny to very large, so there is a suitable one for everybody. The horses are all very quiet and safe, but forward going enough to enjoy the ride. I also noticed that the stables are very clean and when the horses are not working they spend the day out in the field. It was very important to me to find a yard that treats its horses well and I have to say the Paddocks tick every box in this aspect. Overall I very much recommend them and hope that other people people's experience with them will be just as positive as mine.
