Endurance riding is the combination of one horse and one rider competing over a designated course,in the shortest

time possible, with the emphasis on horse welfare.You must meet the vet’s assessment before;he either allows you to proceed or congratulates you on completion.

The motto of endurance riding is “To complete is to win”, the horse’s welfare is always the “number one” priority.

While completing the course in the fastest possible time is a consideration, maintaining the horse in a sound, fit-to-continue condition that displays no signs of physical stress, is the real objective.

The winner of any endurance ride is the horse and rider combination that covers the ride distance in the fastest time while still fulfilling the above criteria. The award for Best Conditioned Horse is an honor coveted by all, and is presented  to the pair (horse and rider) who has covered the ride in the competitive time and also displayed a superior state of physical conditioning and preparation.

To develop an endurance horse, the rider must know the nutritional requirements of a high performance horse,the amount of training involved to compete successfully and know how to manage the horse's health and welfare during  ride.

Training center

Philosophy

"Love means attention, which means looking after the things we love, we call this stable management"

 Location

We are located in the center of Amman the capital, which give us the ability to train our horses in different terrain such as hills, forests, and desert also in a different climate cool, dry, and humid which make our horse prepared all the year long to race in any country in the world, no need to stop training for any reason.

We have been instrumental in having encouraged international riders (especially UAE, Italy, Australia, ksa, Egypt, Libya, and Syria). These riders have further confirmed our beliefs that the terrain, climate and vast spans of courses available are ideal for the training and maintenance of the Endurance Horse and Rider.
