"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." (Rob
