Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
The recent flurry of equine activity started off with the Dilmun Club Stables holding a three-hour show jumping clinic designed for beginners.
Instructors, Basel Al Dossari and Hussein Al Boosta, led 10 students through the clinic which initially saw everyone concentrating on controling their horses.
The students learned how to walk the course with the instructors, measuring strides, remembering the sequence of fences and working out which parts their particular horse may have trouble with.
Each student then completed the course as many times as necessary to correct any problems with constant help from the instructors. A clinic for advanced students will be held on November 19.
This weekend will be busy as Shakhoora Riding Stables. It is holding an In-House Hunter Show Jumping Show, where there will be individual classes for beginners as well as more experienced riders. For more information contact 17591103.
This weekend also sees the first of several events for Twin Palms Riding Stables, which has announced a Show Jumping Competition - open to ALL!.
