best trip ever
This was a great riding and touring experience . The food, the horses, the farm, the people were amazing. Cait and Julie Goodnight and T Cody all made the trip very informative and I learned a lot about riding. The tours and pubs we went to in the afternoon were not touristy at all. Cait's knowledge of the area was a great bonus. I can't recommend it enough!

Best trip ever
I certainly had high expectations, and booked early and enthusiastically for this opportunity to ride with Julie Goodnight AND see western Ireland. But wow! I was totally blown away by Kait’s Connemara Equestrian Escape. The house we stayed in was beautiful and the food at every turn, delicious. Best yet were the horses. Not only are they well trained and cared for, they are quite obviously loved.. Kait pairs each rider up with a horse that’s just the right amount of challenge and the horses take amazing care of their riders. Kait generously shared her special places, experiences, and contacts with us all and created quite simply the BEST experience. Cannot recommend highly enough and yes, I’ll be back!

This is the trip to book!!!!
You can stop searching for your dream vacation.. you’re looking at it. This was the absolute best experience of my life! The BEST way to explore Ireland is on this tour! I literally cried tears of joy several times while seeing the stunning beauty of the countryside on horseback.. Henry’s back to be precise, who was a complete gentleman for someone like me who wasn’t a seasoned rider at all. Caits entire team, the horses, all of it was the best experience in every way. If you’d like to really see Ireland .. not just hang out in the crowded tourist areas and pubs, (although that was fun too!), this is THE WAY to do it! I’ll be forever grateful for the amazingly wonderful experience!!! You will NOT regret it.

So Amazing, I didn't want to go home!
My week with Cáit and Connemara Equestrian Escapes was nothing short of amazing. Cáit is a wonderful person with a great sense of humor and takes great pride in making sure her guests are happy. She not only let us ride her sweet Connemara ponies through beautiful landscape, she also taught us about the history of the area. We visited castles, a sheep farm and a traditional music shop, along with taking us to the Dublin Horse Show. Cáit and her crew Brian, Sabdh and Aoifa are incredibly kind to the horses. They know all the personality quirks and likes and dislikes of each horse, and makes sure they have everything they need. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Cáit, you will be so glad you did!

"IRISH EQUESTRIAN VACATION with a TWIST"
Riding, Cultural Tour & Dublin Horse Show. The moment we arrived at Curra Farm we knew that we were going to have a wonderful time. Cait and her very experienced and friendly team did not disappoint. Cait and team are so passionate about their ponies. There was no question that each pony was healthy and ready to be paired with a guest. A very happy and healthy environment! When you are not in the saddle, you are learning about the Irish cultural with Cait and her pups as your guides. For those interested in the 2024 tour, we recommend arriving in Galway in time to take in one day at the Galway Races (Galway Race Week). Additionally, plan on spending at least one extra day in Dublin. You will want to do a walking tour of Dublin and/or attend the Dublin Horse Show on Friday night. Our vacation was spectacular in every way!

Pure Connemara Magic
This trip was a lifelong dream fulfilled in all the best ways possible. Cait is an amazing horsewoman, one with intuitive knowledge and wisdom, and the fact she shared her home and horses with us is a heartfelt gift. The scenery, the joy and laughter, the magic of the Irish landscape and it’s people - all of this and more we experienced every day! I am still so astounded and grateful for all I experienced. We rode through forests, climbed a mountain on horseback, and galloped across several beaches. Cait shared the history of the region with us, her voice full of pride (and awe too)! I asked her if the scenery ever gets old, and she replied with a big fat “No, never!” I agree! I don’t see how the mountains, lakes, and rivers would ever grow old. Brian, Saibh, and Aoife were brilliant guides. Their kindness to both us and the horses were evident in everything they did. They welcomed us with open arms and trusted us with the horses, and for that I am so grateful. Thank you!! I only wish I had been able to give you three hugs before we left. Thank you, Cait and team. For fulfilling a dream of mine I’ve had since I was a little girl. Thank you. I will absolutely be back - you can count on that!

Wonderful Irish vacation
Excellent experience! This is the 4th tour we have done with Connemara Equistrian Escapes and we have loved every one of them. Wonderful blend of horseback riding and cultural learning, all fun. If a spouse doesn’t ride, a fishing or golf outing will be arranged. Or something else they will enjoy. You just can’t beat it. Highly recommended!

Blend of riding and culture.
What an incredible experience. I would recommend Cait and her team for all levels of riding. The combination of riding and cultural tours made a nice blend of experiences. The Dublin horse show was a highlight for me personally as a professional horse person. Thank you CEE for the most remarkable memories.

Fantastic horse riding and sight seeing holiday
Thank you to Cáit and her team of amazing people who helped to make a week of riding and sightseeing in Ireland so memorable. The ponies were so well trained and well mannered and matched to each riders level of experience and ability. An absolutely beautiful way to see the varied countryside. The cultural tours complemented the riding and I learnt so much about Irish history and culture. The people were also lovely and the food and accommodation brilliant. A special mention to Cáit who went above and beyond to accommodate what everyone wanted. I would love to return.
