Horse Riding In King Abdullah Economic City

Riding horses is one of the few sports in the world where women and men, girls and boys, work and compete together and against each other.

The horse riding shoes you wear when riding are a very important part of keeping you safe. This is so as not to fall from the horse when your foot comes out smoothly without falling. So all riders wear a boot with a soft sole and a small heel (1 - 1.5 inches). This means sandals, high heels, runners/jogging shoes, and hiking shoes are not recommended for horse riding.

The suitable age for starting to ride a horse depends on what kind of personality the child has and the environment in which he lives. But in general, we can say that at four years old, most children are able to follow instructions well enough for lessons.

Always wear a helmet.
Wear fit clothes and avoid any items that might fall off and startle the horse.
Be careful when approaching a horse from the front, especially if it’s known for kicking.
Never jump off a horse mid-ride.
