Abu Dhabi: Mandara Equestrian Club

Mandara Equestrian Club in Al Shahama, between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, is one of my favorite locations for our corporate trainings. 

The club combines all the requirements for a professional training:

• A shaded indoor arena with climate control to offer these seminars all year round. 
• Various outdoor arenas to work outside when the weather is nice
• A beautiful café with professional service, fresh and healthy food from their own nearby farm, with TV and projector. 
• And of course: great people and horses!

The horses

What makes Mandara Equestrian Club stand out from many others, is the fact that even the riding school horses are allowed time together to socialize and move freely.
This is essential for our corporate trainings as it ensures that the horses develop their social skills, which is what we work with.
And it also means that the horses are safer than horses who's needs are not met properly.
The club has a variety of breeds and personality, thus giving us plenty of options to partner with.

Mandara Equestrian facilities

The air conditioned indoor arena at Mandara Equestrian Club is an invaluable asset to run our full day professional trainings, all year round.

But it's not just the indoor arena that is five star, there are also a variety of big and small well kept outdoor arenas and paddocks to be outside when the weather is good, and we love hosting guests in Cafe Mandarina, which serves as meeting space and caters to all your needs with fresh, high quality food.

The club has plenty of staff to assist us when we work with larger groups of people, and the horses are well looked after and cared for.
And best of all - the management supports our unusual form of training!

For riders and livery members, Mandara Equestrian offers riding lessons from beginners to advanced, there is farmland to explore outside of the facility, and even rides to the nearby beaches are possible.

Cafe Mandarina

Cafe Mandarina is the soul of the stable - and it's where we impress our guests with amazing, healthy food!
Set up and run with a love to detail, you can feel the nourishing power of this special cafe where we start each seminar and come back to for breaks, theory sessions and to regain strength.

Almost all dishes are organic, and where possible produce is sourced from their own Mandara Farms.
On request, we can customize the menu to suit each taste - vegetarian, vegan, with either an Arabic or a European touch... whatever you prefer.

After the seminar, make sure you plan some extra time to enjoy a shisha on the rooftop terrace or the majilis, looking down on the horses and riders.
