Horse & Houses Club Guides
Equestrian Clubs
in the UAE
Polo, show-jumping and riding clubs across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and how to find the right home within easy reach of your stable.
How to choose
Choose the Club, Then the Home
The UAE is home to some of the finest equestrian facilities in the world. For riders and families moving here, the club you ride at shapes everything else, where you live, how you spend your week and how much time you actually get in the saddle. These guides cover each club’s facilities, location and the communities around it.
Your discipline
Polo, show jumping, dressage or leisure riding, each club has its own strengths, arenas and calendar.
Your drive time
Daily riding works best when home, school and stable sit within a short, easy drive of each other.
The homes nearby
We shortlist villas and communities around the club that fits you, not the other way round.
