About

This ride allows more time on the beach. After a good canter down the Tullan Strand the ride goes on the Erne Estuary beach where you can enjoy a good gallop(subject to rider assessment). The ride then climbs to the top of the Sand Dunes giving you breath-taking views back over the Estuary. The ride then returns back through the sand dunes.

All rides are just for your booking. We no longer run mixed group rides. Your booking can be for up to 5 people and can be a mixture of adults and children. Semi private & group bookings must be made on one booking.
