SAMPLE ITINERARY - SB KERRY SHORT BREAKDay 1
Day of arrival/ check-in for all riders. There are no formal plans and no riding on this day as riders will be checking in at different times throughout the day. (check-in before 6pm, if later you must advise the Stables). All clients are required to check-in to meet with one of the family, to discuss experience level and general trail ride information. You will then be taken from the Stables to your overnight accommodation in the Killarney area. We try to keep all rides at the same location each night so if you don’t bump into any others on Saturday you will easily identify then people in riding clothes at breakfast on Sunday morning. Overnight in Killarney town.
Day 2 With riders, horses and all luggage ready for transfer, the day begins with a short trip to the base of Seefinn Mountain, where the first day's ride starts. When horses and riders have been introduced, the ride heads off over the Windy Gap, viewing the splendour of Caragh Lake and the valley beyond. The ride then continues on to Coomasaharn Lake enclosed by Horseshoe Mountain, followed by a scenic ride over an Irish Bog, finishing for the day at our stable in Mountain Stage. The overnight stop for Sunday and Monday nights is by the quaint village of Glenbeigh. (Glenbeigh comes from Gleann Beithe, the Glen of the Birch Trees). Surrounded almost entirely by mountains, Glenbeigh offers a famous friendliness and humour which is nowhere better found than in this tranquil and charming region of Kerry. The beauty of the area is breath-taking, with the River Behy and Rossbeigh Strand close by. History is evident throughout the locality and such a destination as Winn’s Folly Castle is well worth a visit. Day 3 After breakfast riders are collected and returned to the stables of the previous evening to begin Monday’s ride. The day is spent on Rossbeigh beach, galloping along stretches of golden sand. Pass by a tower built more than a century ago, which guide marks for ships entering Castlemaine Harbour. The panorama of Dingle and the Iveragh Penninsulas to the North and South. Lunch on the beach. Afterwards some more galloping, returning from the beach via the Cliff Road. Day 4 Breakfast. Departure is from Glenbeigh Location, not Killarney. There is a public bus from Glenbeigh to Killarney each morning at 08.30am approx. time varies from season to season.
