"My next riding adventure took place in Ireland's wild west, the rugged seacoast dubbed "the most Irish part of Ireland". Donie O'Sullivan, the garrulous owner of Killarney Riding Stables, offers a variety of inn-to-inn rides that last up to six days. I opted for a day ride along the Ring of Kerry's seductive sea. O'Sullivan expertly selected a horse to fit each of the six riders. He put a short, inexperienced rider onto a calm Connemara pony and handed me the reins of "Pepsi", a powerful Irish draught."
