Livery
A Home for Every Horse
Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club has been a home to horses since 1976. Nestled in the heart of the city, our livery prioritises the comfort and well-being of every horse in our care and is British Horse Society (BHS) Approved. The latter accreditation ensures that our facilities and staff are quality controlled and inspected on an annual basis. Our coaches are BHS qualified to safeguard the best quality care and attention for your horse.
We have six arenas and 250 spacious and well-ventilated stables arranged in an American barn style layout which have all the charm of a country estate combined with state-of-the-art facilities.
