About this yard

Mountain View Horse Riding Centre is based at Poulnagun, just outside Lisdoonvarna and a short 10-minute drive from Doolin, in the heart of the Burren, County Clare. Trails run through woodlands, up the hills of Slieve Elva and along quiet green roads into the Burren, reaching over 1,200 feet above the Atlantic for panoramic views of the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands, Connemara and Galway Bay. Treks range from 1 to 6 hours, suiting complete beginners through to advanced riders.

Beach riding is offered in three formats: a 2-hour option where horse and rider are transported by truck directly to the beach for a focused trot-and-canter session (€100); a 4-hour option combining a 2-hour ride from the stables across the mountain to the beach with a truck pickup at the end (€150); and a full-day 6-hour option including lunch en route. This suits riders who want maximum beach time without giving up the cross-country ride out. The centre is 10 minutes from Doolin Cave and close to the shortest ferry crossing to the Aran Islands.
