We are still talking about this incredible trek through the countryside—from two months ago! It was absolutely the highlight of our one-week trip to Ireland! It was the first time our teenage boys went horse-back riding, and that wasn’t a problem at all. They LOVED it. There’s no better way to experience the beauty of Ireland. Ray and Lisa were fun, knowledgeable, and patient hosts. We enjoyed every aspect of this little adventure and highly recommend adding this to your next Ireland visit. What an experience!!!

A great experience and as a first time rider we felt very safe and comfortable. There were two girls that worked there that were extremely nice and very informative. There was a man that seemed to be the owner. He was very fun and even helped us plan some excursions afterwards. Overall experience was 10/10

It was amazing experience, extremely well organised. Horses were trained very well and placid even for beginners. Lovely trail great team, even with the rain it was great experience. Cannot say enough. Tried many places before but this one was 100% the best.
Thank you !

My daughter wanted to give a billion stars! We both loved it, but she didn’t want to leave. Ray and Hannah were fantastic! We will probably be back again if my daughter has anything to do with it!

If you’re looking for a horseback riding experience in Ireland that feels personal, welcoming, and genuinely fun, I can’t recommend Wicklow Mountains Horse Trekking enough. Ray Fisher, the owner, led our ride himself and completely made the experience. We arrived about minutes late because we put the wrong location in GPS. We called to let him know and he was very understanding.
Ray has a huge personality — incredibly gregarious, funny, and friendly. Within minutes he had learned everyone’s names and made the whole group feel comfortable. Between the nonstop jokes, storytelling, and colorful Irish commentary, there were moments you wondered whether you were on a horseback ride or sitting in a lively pub with old friends.
Our group consisted of mostly novice riders, and Ray was patient and attentive the entire ride. I’m a very nervous rider, and he gave me extra guidance and reassurance while also playfully teasing me enough to keep me laughing instead of panicking. Somehow he managed to keep an eye on everyone while still making each person feel individually looked after.
The scenery in the Wicklow Mountains was beautiful, but honestly, Ray’s personality is what made this experience unforgettable. We left smiling, laughing, and feeling proud of ourselves. Highly recommend for beginners, nervous riders, and anyone who wants a horseback ride that feels authentic, entertaining, and welcoming.

The guide was very friendly and animated. The horses were well taken care of and beautiful. The scenery was amazing. The guide has been the favorite part of our trip.

Beautiful ride through the countryside and even a water feature 😀
Ray was the consummate Irish host with lots of Witty stories. The horses are friendly and well cared for and you can bring them treats.
Lisa made sure that we all made it safely through the water 🐴 😉
Highly recommend

Really good experience. Ray is a character and Aimee (I hope I spelled that right) was a great guide and so calm. We were very impressed with the setup as well as the trail. Trekking through the lake was a highlight and we will definitely come back again.

Very fun experience. Lisa and Ray are fantastic hosts and the ride was fun. We rode some trails down to a pretty lake and circled back a different way.

Despite the rain, it was so peaceful and picturesque. Great either solo or with friends. Would do it again!

Lovely trek through a beautiful area. Ray who brought us out was great! Special mention to Apple the horse who was very patient!

Absolutely amazing! Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Everyone was very friendly, especially our guide! He was kind and helpful and very informative. He even went as far as making sure we made it to our bus to head home and went above and beyond. We went as a group of three girls and loved it. We would definitely do it again and hope we can return sometime! Just FANTASTIC! I would highly recommend booking with this experience! Words honestly can’t even begin to express how much we enjoyed it and would recommend it

The horses were very cooperative, even in the rain and wind! We had Jack as our guide who was friendly and provided good advice for a safe ride.

Easy to find and great service from the staff. I'm a beginner and they made sure I was comfortable before we set off.

We did have a great ride through a most beautiful area :-) it was an amazing experience for all of us! Ray called us on the phone the evening before our tour to match the horses with our riding abilities and did a perfect job! A big thank you to Ray, Lisa, Nicole and Jack for making it a perfect day for all of us and taking care of everyone and everything! And another big thank you to our four-legged companions for carrying us through the countryside so patiently ;-) All horses were relaxed and very well cared for, also the whole facility was very well kept. So we highly recommend the Hollywood horse and pony trekking - experience!

It was our first time as a family to go horseriding and we all loved it. It's amazing how you can feel riding a horse. Ray the trek leader was funny and entertained us but also put our nerves at ease.
Corbin_B, Jul 2025
Super fun experience. The views and trails were so nice and felt like real Ireland. If you know how to ride, we got to do a good amount of cantering too. Real great rides, views, and people running it all. Would definitely do it again and recommend it to everyone. Great people out there too, as I even got a ride to a bus stop after, and saved me a lot on a second taxi.
Ralena_K, May 2025
It was a wonderful, beautiful, and fun experience. I would recommend this to anyone who can do it. We all had ridden horses in our childhood, and we didn't have any issues.
Audree_Y, Jan 2025
The ride was amazing, but the folks at the stables and giving us the tour really made the trip. Thanks for being so lovely!
Emily_B, Nov 2024
Absolutely loved our time. Gorgeous scenery and lovely guides. They were excellent at teaching the beginner rider in our group the ropes and made it fun and easy for all! Could not recommend more. Had the best time, thank you so much!

We had a lovely ride with careful guides and safe horses. The scenery was beautiful. We walked in the lake, cantered and enjoyed a lovely morning trek. I highly recommend this excursion. It would be enjoyed by all.
Samantha_H, Sep 2024
We had the best morning. Lovely, calm ponies. Ray was such a lovely guide, and as we were experienced riders, were able to go off for a canter/explore away from the group.
Highly recommend, stunning scenery and they are able to canter for all all levels within the same group 🙂

This was the first of many tours/activities we did while in Ireland for the first time. It was a great start to a fantastic vacation. Loved this experience. Ray was great, the horses were great, the scenery was amazing. Ray recommended a side trip to Glendalough Abbey- it was fantastic too. Thank you Ray!!
Jake_H, Jul 2024
Ray was a great tour guide very instructional for 1st time horse riders and made great conversation. A lot of fun and very nice time.
Ralph_M, Jul 2024
Ray and his assistants were amazing. Very informative and understanding of different riding levels and made sure you were at ease with what was going on.
Alexander_C, Jun 2024
It was a wonderful experience. The tour guides exposing us to the Irish countryside on horseback and we even got to ride close to or ride some in the lake on the property. The horses were nicely behaved and took care of us as well.
Rodrigo_R, Nov 2023
Our hourseback riding with Ray was very good, he is very friendly and patient, the place is very beautiful and it was an amazing morning.
