Hi team
Anyone in dubai?
Anyone in dubai?
Wow, that's stifling temperatures. I was a wimp in the heat, not sure I would survive temps in the 40's.
I do own a horse here,,,,,, very hard to manage due to heat
Lots of water and AC
Where abouts do you keep your horse? Ive been riding there and lounged about in the pool at the polo club a few times watching dressage (Friesians seem to be the "thing"?). I bet its not a cheap place to keep a horse! I always wonder, is it difficult to buy horses there as I assume theres only a limited pool of them, otherwise you'd have to fly them in? Where do you get things like hay from? I love hearing how people in other countries keep their horses and different problems you have.
Hey! I lived out there for 3 years with my horse but considering possibly moving back for work in about 6 months time D: with the horses! However, when I last lived there I was young and just accepted that my horses were kept whatever the yard I was on deemed fit but I think I would be a bit more demanding now! I would definitely want some overnight/morning and evening turnout opportunities but they are few and far in between
Where abouts do you keep your horse? I was at DPEC and DEC for a while
I'm at a really great yard call al Sahara - staff are awesome a kiwi ex criss country nut!!! -Irish bhs trainer (eventer) and an ex jockey and really good grooms who actaually j ow about horses
Arena is basic but sufficient but if you like desert hacking it's amazing
Turn out will always be an issue - there are yards with grass paddocks and larger turn out but you are looking at aed3800++ minimum
Ours are in sand paddocks with hay but every morning and evening (depending on owners request)
Is is the Al Sahra Desert Resort Equestrian Centre? Looks really cool if it is. I will look into it if I do end up moving back
