  Amazing experience horseback riding with CCS  - We had an absolutely amazing experience horseback riding with CCS! The scenic trail took us through breathtaking Irish landscapes – we rode past lush forests, rolling hills, friendly sheep, and... read more even a stunning waterfall.

Niall and Carole were fantastic guides, offering not just expert guidance but also warm and friendly Irish hospitality that made us feel right at home. The beauty of the nature combined with the charm of the people made this an unforgettable adventure. We can't recommend it highly enough!

  Unforgettable First Horse Riding Adventure with CCS! - I had never ridden a horse before this trip—it was my first experience! Over the two weeks, I gained so much knowledge and confidence. By the end of the first... read more week, I was ready to explore some incredible mountain trails, where we discovered a breathtaking waterfall. Riding on the beach was another highlight—truly unforgettable!

The horses were exceptionally gentle and well-cared for, making each ride a pleasure. I’ll always remember Bowie, Rothko, and Guinness—they were amazing companions!

Niall and Carole were outstanding guides, offering expert instruction and genuine Irish hospitality that made me feel right at home. They taught me everything from how to tack a horse to grooming and preparing them for a ride. I learned so much and can’t wait to return.

This adventure beautifully combined the stunning landscape with the warmth of the people, creating a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend CCS to anyone looking for a fantastic riding holiday!

  Fabulous riding trip to beautiful Enniskerry, Ireland  - Hard to say what we enjoyed the most - the riding, the hosts, the food, the variety of both riding and dining experiences, the "cultural" sites we visited, including the... read more whiskey distillery at Powerscourt; the historic home and treetop walk at Avondale; and Avoca, the oldest wool weaving mill in the country. This trip was fabulous, and so personalized both to what we wanted to do and see AND to the different riding levels as between my daughter and me. Kieran, Niall, and Carole were all such great hosts: attentive, gracious, engaging, considerate. From the big picture (riding, dining, transportation, shopping, cultural sites) to the personal details, like (i) Niall's preparing egg salad sandwiches from his chickens' eggs at the yard (the barn) and Kieran's elderflower tea made from a bush at the yard on the day we didn't have time to go out to lunch between morning and afternoon rides, (ii) lovely tailgates from the back of the Range Rover on the days we did our cross-country ride and our early morning beach ride, complete with fresh sliced fruit, yogurt, Irish brown bread and jam, butter (oh, that Irish butter!), juices, and sparkling as well as flat water, and (iii) arranging a food pairing with the whiskey tasting at Powerscourt. Did I say the horses were wonderful? And Kieran was determined to find a perfect fit for each of us - I think I rode 6 different horses while I was there (and enjoyed every one!). We loved the whole trip and would go back - in fact, we hope to!
