The Club also boasts a spectacular show-jumping arena, in which an obstacle similar to the famous Hickstead Bank has been constructed, along with a natural water jump that adds to the variety of the various show-jumping events that take place throughout the season. Many important show jumping competitions take place at the Club, and the annual Abu Dhabi International Show has become well established, with riders from around the world coming back year after year to support what has been described by many as the most enjoyable event of the show-jumping season. In line with the wishes of Their Highnesses The Sheikhs to encourage and promote equestrianism among the youth of the country and to restore the ancient craft of horsemanship to the people, the Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club has one of the most efficient and successful riding schools in the area, with instruction of all levels available to pupils of all ages who are wishing to learn and absorb the principles and practices required to master the art of horsemanship.
