Situated in Al Quasis, Al Ahli Horse Riding Club attracts horse lovers and provides an excellent facility for those interested in learning riding, dressage, jumping and anything one would like to know about horses.
Established in 1998 by Rashid Suhail Al Darbi, former UAE national team show jumper, the facility also has special pony clubs for young riders starting from the age of 4. Riding lessons contain levels (mostly six), provided by professional instructors.
While one starts at the Red level for learning the basics of horse back riding, the Yellow level trains one in irectional changes, control and balance. The Green level introduces students to jumping, while the Blue level teaches dressage kills and to jump more than one fence.
The Black level teaches the rules of the Show Jumping Competition while the White level, considered the last level at the Al Ahli Horse Riding Club, trains someone who hopes to be a professional or plans to buy and ride his or her own competition horse. The club has now become a popular haunt for people of all ages and nationalities. KT photographer Shihab joins them.
