🐎 Learn to Ride with Confidence – Horse Riding Lessons in Dubai
Master the art of riding in the heart of the desert, one step at a time.
Ready to get in the saddle and start your riding journey? At Al Jiyad Stables, we offer horse riding lessons in Dubai tailored to every level — from absolute beginners to intermediate riders looking to build skill and confidence. Nestled just off Al Qudra Road, our desert-based stable offers a calm, welcoming space to learn, practice, and grow alongside our ethically trained Arabian horses.
Horseback riding isn’t just about learning to sit on a horse — it’s about building trust, improving posture, understanding rhythm, and forming a connection with an animal that feels everything you feel. Riding is a skill and a mindset, and once you get the hang of it, there's nothing quite like the freedom it gives.
Whether you're planning to join a desert trail ride, dream of jumping one day, or just want to try something new and grounding, riding lessons lay the foundation for all of it.
Never touched a horse before? No problem. Our beginner sessions are slow-paced, fully guided, and focused on the essentials — mounting, holding reins, posture, balance, and stopping safely. Unlike lessons in a closed paddock, we take you outside into a secure, open environment, helping you build both confidence and trust with your horse. By the end of your horse riding experience at Al Jiyad Stables, you’ll feel ready — and confident — to ride horses anywhere.
Already know the basics and want to sharpen your technique? We offer intermediate lessons where you’ll practice all riding speeds — from trotting to galloping — and learn to control your horse with greater precision. You’ll start to feel that natural communication develop — the subtle cues, the shifts in weight, and the bond that makes riding feel effortless.
We love seeing young riders grow. Our kid-friendly lessons are fun, interactive, and taught with plenty of encouragement. Horses are carefully chosen to match each child’s age and confidence, and parents are always welcome to observe from the sidelines.
At Al Jiyad, riding lessons aren’t rushed. We focus on quality, not pressure. Our instructors are experienced, multilingual, and passionate about creating a supportive space where riders feel seen and guided.
Every rider is provided with a helmet and protective chaps. We begin every lesson with a safety briefing and make sure you’re comfortable with your horse before moving forward.
We work only with well-trained, well-cared-for horses. Our riding program is designed around respect — for the horse, the rider, and the tradition of horseback riding.
Unlike noisy city riding schools, our lessons take place in the peaceful atmosphere of the desert, helping both rider and horse stay calm and focused.
You’ll begin by mastering the essentials — mounting and dismounting smoothly, holding the reins correctly, and developing proper posture and balance in the saddle. These fundamentals set the stage for everything else you’ll do on horseback.
Each session is hands-on, engaging, and suited to your pace. You’ll leave every lesson not just more skilled — but more connected to the animal under you.
We offer lessons 7 days a week, with morning and late afternoon slots to avoid the midday heat. Sessions are available for:
Booking is easy — just message us on WhatsApp or through our website, and we’ll match you with the right instructor and horse based on your goals.
Whether it’s your first lesson or your fiftieth, Al Jiyad Stables is here to guide your growth in the saddle. With a peaceful desert setting, experienced instructors, and horses you’ll fall in love with — this is the perfect place to begin.
