Intermediate & Canter (10+)

About this activity

For riders who've already built confidence at walk and trot, this class introduces canter, lateral movements, and basic work over jump poles — a genuine step up requiring an existing comfort in the saddle, which is why there's no free trial at this level. BHS Stage 1–2 examination preparation is available for riders who want the formal qualification alongside general skill progression, all set within the club's notably scenic Sustainable City stable environment. Age 10 and up; sessions run Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

What to expect from sports classes

Sports sessions in the UAE typically last 45–90 minutes and are grouped by age and ability. Expect a warm-up phase, skill-based drills, and a game or activity at the end. Indoor facilities with air conditioning are standard across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, ensuring year-round training regardless of summer temperatures. Most academies follow internationally recognised coaching frameworks and provide all equipment — you just need to bring water, comfortable clothing, and appropriate footwear.

What to look for when choosing a provider

• Qualified coaches with recognised certifications (UEFA, ASA, national federation equivalent)
• Age-appropriate grouping — children should train with peers at a similar developmental stage
• Small group sizes for meaningful individual attention and development
• Indoor or shaded facilities for summer training continuity
• A development-first philosophy where improvement matters more than winning
