    As I am happy to box, anywhere, but probably focussed on west and north coasts. Are there any retrictions on beach access?

    Have a look here for nice pictures to answer your questions.

    I know that you can rent horses and there are many stables that do that have treks and beach rides. My daughter used a few last summer around the westport area.

    I do not know the situation if you have your own pony. Ring mayo county council to see about access for your horse to the beaches they may even have a list of public bridleways.

    have a look here for links to info or give them a ring

    I would presume it would be ok to take a horse onto a beach provided you cleaned up after yourself and have appropiate public liability insurance.
