Madison & Ken’s Romantic Beach Ride in Ireland
Madison and Ken’s honeymoon in Ireland was nothing short of magical, with their romantic beach horseback ride being one of the standout moments. This was a special experience for Madison, who had dreamed of riding along an Irish beach as part of her bucket list.
Madison arrived wearing a stunning black dress that matched the gothic theme of their wedding, looking elegant and at ease. Ken, a complete beginner, wore his stylish Irish flat cap, ready to dive into this adventure, despite his inexperience with horses. He was paired with Rocky, a gentle giant, while Madison rode Barbie, a beautiful strawberry roan Irish cob, who she immediately bonded with after years of riding experience.
The morning sun cast a soft, golden light over the beach as they began their journey along the coastline. With the waves lapping at their horses' hooves, the couple rode side by side, walking hand in hand along the stunning Irish beach. Ken, though a beginner, quickly grew comfortable with Rocky’s steady pace, while Madison, confident on Barbie, guided the way.
At certain points, Hannah, our professional show jumper, took Madison on a canter along the beach, letting her ride through the waves with grace. Ken watched in awe as Madison glided through the waves, thinking to himself, “That’s my girl.”
Their ride continued as they explored the rocky areas along the coastline, the sand dunes, and the expansive beach strand. With the stunning Donegal coast in the distance, the clear skies and calm seas made the day feel like something out of a dream.
After their ride, the couple relaxed near a wild fire on the beach, sipping Irish coffee and reflecting on the unforgettable experience they’d just had with the Hannah & Crindle Team. The warmth of the fire, the sound of the waves was the perfect end to their Irish honeymoon expereince. For Madison and Ken, this romantic horseback ride through Ireland’s natural beauty was the perfect way to celebrate their honeymoon, and it’s a memory they’ll hold dear forever.
