Stables West
About
Stables West is a horseback riding operator in Isle of Mull. The yard at Killiechronan, Isle of Mull PA72 6JU, United Kingdom, sits on the island's western side, where riders mount up for guided treks across open hill ground.
Routes lead out from the yard through the surrounding countryside, with ponies matched to each rider's size and confidence before setting off. A score of 5 out of 5 from 49 reviews reflects how highly guests regard the operation, and the website http://www.mullponytrekking.com/ carries booking information. Riders often pair a visit with time in Tobermory or Craignure.
Waterproofs and sturdy footwear are worth packing, since Hebridean weather shifts quickly and the ground can be soft underfoot. Rides run whatever the forecast, so layers that shed rain serve better than a single heavy coat.
Reaching Mull usually means a car ferry or passenger ferry, and some British islands also have scheduled flights. English is the main language on Mull, with Scottish Gaelic spoken on some islands. Summer regattas and fetes bring harbour life to its busiest, and smoked fish, island cheeses and bakery bread turn up in shops and harbourside cafés. Booking ahead suits the shorter daylight of spring and autumn.
