A mere ten minute drive from Dromoland Castle – Castlefergus Equestrian is owned and managed by the O’Brien family who have been working with horses for generations. Over the years we have constantly developed our equestrian centre and farm here in Co. Clare.

River Ride (1 hour)

Enjoy County Clare’s natural hidden treasures on horseback at Castlefergus Riding Stables. You will take a trip back in time as we ride past the authentic medieval 15th Century Castlefergus Castle. Ramble down the country lane onto our picturesque meadows and farm past sheep and cattle grazing. Ride alongside the meandering banks of the river Rine as we then make our way back to the stables.

Castlefergus Classic Trail (1.5 hours)

This is our most popular trek. Ride through the sheep with their baby lambs at foot in the spring and summer months. Experience ancient Irish folklore as we pass by the ring-forts (fairy forts) dating back to the Bronze Age and by the old railway arches that date back to 1853. Enjoy panoramic views of the farm, as you walk through the Irish meadows in Co. Clare.

Kids Mini Woodland Trekking

At Castlefergus Riding Stables we welcome children. We do a lovely fun trail up through the woods and in the summer months in the fields with the baby lambs. We have a great team of lovely quiet ponies. Helmets are provided at the stables.
