In Emirati culture, horses have always played an important part, not only as a mode of transportation but also as man’s most loyal companion.
The Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club is one of the region’s most impressive venues for horse racing and show jumping events, where you can get an idea of the prime role of Arabian horses in the emirate. The club hosts numerous races annually including The President’s Cup, National Cup Day and the Emirates Championship.
Flat Race
Since 1991 horse racing has taken place at the Club. Run under international rules with slight adjustments to facilitate local requirements.
Endurance
Although Endurance riding is a relatively new sport in the U.A.E., it has enjoyed tremendous success and growth, and is currently the fastest-growing equestrian sport in the Emirates.
Show Jumping
Since the establishment of the Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club, show jumping, once a very small part of the Club & activities, has developed into to one of its main equestrian disciplines.
Riding School
The Riding School began over a decade ago with only 10 Arabian horses and two ponies. Today, the school boasts more than 100 horses and ponies trained to all abilities.
