About our Horses
We have beautiful Irish cobs who are members of our family who are loved and well cared for. We never work the same horse every day we rotate them and give them days off. They also only do the one trip a day to dun Aonghasa so that day trip tour is never rushed. They are kept out in large pastures and not confined in Stables. The Gypsy Cobs have compact, powerful bodies with broad backs, thick manes and tails and feathered feet and are known for being strong, good natured and very hardy

Dún Aonghasa is about 1km from the Visitor Centre and is approached over rising ground. The last section of the path is over rough, natural rock and care is needed, especially when descending. Boots or strong walking shoes are recommended. There is no fence or barrier at the edge of the cliff.
Perilously perched on a sheer sea-cliff, Dún Aonghasa defiantly faces the Atlantic Ocean. It is the largest of the prehistoric stone forts of the Aran Islands.
Dún Aonghasa is over 3,000 years old. Excavations have revealed significant evidence of prehistoric metalworking, as well as several houses and burials. The whole complex was refortified in AD 700–800.
The views are spectacular on a clear day.
