“Just finished a week of horse camp with my daughter, Katie. It was fantastic from start to finish. The beach, hacks, lessons, picnics, stable management, plaiting, bandages, loading. The list was endless. Kieran and his fantastic team of Niall, Sophie, Mya, Stephen and really everyone up at CCS are incredible, patient and knowledgeable. If you are tempted at all to try a camp this is the one without a doubt. You’ll be hooked for life. Thanks again to you all” (Nicola Cooper)
“I had a brilliant afternoon with CCS. The staff were both friendly and helpful and the horses were beautiful. We rode through some great scenery also. Would definitely go back or recommend to a friend.” (Katherine Miners)
“I have been around the word. I have dug up a full intact oil lamp from the 1st century in Nazareth, Israel and I have spent a week on a boat traveling down some of the most remote parts of the Amazon River in Brazil. All this to say, my weekend with CCS in Ireland was without a doubt the most amazing experience and trip that I have ever been on. The horses are great, hospitality is even better, the country is beautiful, and CCS is wonderful. It’s much better than a typical pony walk on the side of the hill. Full Emersion of riding, trotting, galloping, jumping, and even swimming with the horses.” (Will Worthington)
“A beautiful ride from downtown Dublin you will find this wonderful stable. Wonderful because you can see that the horses are loved and cared for. Wonderful because the setting is gorgeous (even in a brisk windy day). And wonderful because of the people. Kieran! Niall! And the others at the Country Cottage welcomed me, made me feel confident and assured. I highly recommend Country Cottage” (Susan Gately)
“As a late starter to riding, I found country Cottage Stables by serendipity – pure luck. Kieran excels at matching horses to riders and has infinite patience, combined with high standards. He will push each rider to the point that s/he is capable of, which is a long way from the rider’s starting point. CCS is also a friendly, sociable yard with super hacking nearby. Cannot recommend too highly.” (Rose Malone)
“Hello all. I had a wonderful rideout here on New Year’s Day with my sisters. Thanks so much Kieran an Niall. I shall certainly be back when I return again to Ireland. Xxx” (Annie May)
“GREAT PLACE – FANTASTIC SCENERY – FIRST CLASS ESTABLISHMENT , HORSES & PEOPLE – MAKES YOU NOT WANT TO LEAVE THANKS TO ALL FOR THE MOST ENJOYABLE RIDE & DAY RIDING THE WICKLOW MOUNTAINS” (Michael Graham)
“I know Ciaran and Nial going back years and well they are a super team. Horses always turned out to the highest standard in looks and in the horses way of going no matter how big or small the show. Ciaran has always produced beautiful young horses and anyone who is in their yard is very lucky to benefit from their experience.” (Zowie Fanning)
