Killarney Riding Stables

Located about a mile west of Killarney Town and known locally as "O'Sullivan's", Killarney Riding Stables were established in 1968 by Donie O'Sullivan and is still very much a family business with Donies wife Noreen, their two daughters Lorraine and Aoife, and son William all involved. Approved by the Irish Tourist Board and the Association of Irish Riding Establishments, the Stables are home to some 70 horses who have been pampered even more than usual with the recent completion of new stabling constructed to the very highest standards. Being adjacent to the Killarney National Park, the casual customer can enjoy daily rides of one, two, or three hours. Situated in South-West Ireland, County Kerry boasts some of the finest scenery in the world. It is an inspiration of the poet and artist with its high mountain ranges, its inlet studded coast, its woods, lakes, waterfalls, the ever-changing drama of its skies, and the eloquence of its people. It is the delight of the antiquarian and archaeologist, rich in Bronze Age tombs, ring forts, standing stones and early Christian monastic ruins. Kerry is a paradise for the botanist and the bird-watcher, for its sub-tropical climate warmed by the Gulf Stream produces lush and rare vegetation, and on islands off its coast are some of the largest and most important bird colonies in Europe. It is a haven for sportspersons: Angling, shooting, golf, tennis, boating, sailing, surfing, mountaineering, hill climbing, walking, cycling - within this wild and beautiful peninsula, can all be enjoyed.
