Riding Lessons

Sinbad expecting dinner

At Equus Ethiopia we mostly undertake treks and expeditions, in the central highlands and in the more remote corners of the country. That is to say that we ride the great Ethiopian outdoors. But we do also like to offer riding classes; while we mostly enjoy galloping around the vast plateaus the country has to offer, we also recognize the importance of doing some ground word for riders who would wish to be able to get a few primers in a safe and enclosed environment before being set loose in these unlimited vistas. And by groundwork we mean just that. At Equus we do a lot of training on the ground with our ponies, based on the exercises of people such as Ray Hunt, Pat Parelli or Klaus Hempfling. So at Equus, you’ll find that a lot of what we do in the riding ring has as objective for you to understand your horse and work in harmony together. Our overarching goal is to enable you to be a confident outside rider whatever the circumstance in some of the best riding terrain in the world.

Everyone’s welcome at our stables in Solulta where we can offer lessons to complete beginners or to confirmed riders in need of a refresher course. We have a large 25 by 45 meters riding ring in a beautiful and tranquil environment, where your family or friends can relax while you take your lesson.

Lessons take place on all days of the week starting at 4 pm, and are 50 minutes in length. If you would like to book a lesson, ask for more information or request a special program, just give us a call or Contact us by email.
