Desert Palm Equestrian Centre

Exciting Day at Desert Palm Equestrian centre & Daughter and Daddy Coffee. The place provides fantastic views, while the lively views of amazing horses and Stallians, spent time with horse riding and little one learnt on a Good Grooming Session. Beyond the track, horses , horse riding , delicious food, family-friendly activities make for a well-rounded outing. Go there to simply soak in the vibrant environment, in the nature , it's definitely worth a visit!

Avoid Fiona and Sundar's riding school at all costs. For two weeks, they couldn't be bothered to respond to WhatsApp messages or answer phone calls. They seem completely clueless about what’s happening in their own school. First, they say there will be courses, then there aren’t any. Later, they blame it on staff quitting—something that’s not my concern. What matters is the complete lack of communication and professionalism. They shouldn’t be running a riding school if they can’t manage basic operations or respect clients. To make matters worse, Fiona told me to speak with Sundar, and when I did, he insulted me over WhatsApp, accusing me of not showing up—even though they never replied to my messages. Instead of addressing the issue, they shifted the blame onto me. No apology, no accountability—just hostility towards a client who simply wanted to enroll my 11-year-old daughter in lessons. I approached them with an open heart, especially after my great experience with Al Habtoor, where tradition, discipline, and quality prevail. Here, it’s the complete opposite: chaos, zero standards, and zero accountability.

Had my horse there when I was young, learned how to ride there in the early 2000s. Came recently to check out the place to see how much livery was etc, and instead got chased out so rudely by staff.. really odd behaviour!

Overall the communication isn't good, no details on what to bring and what to do on arrival, don't reply to emails for days. I completed 3 sessions, and today was my 4th. I am a beginner and the current horse I was rising with I bonded with was sick (totally fine I would of rather sat with him to make sure he was ok for the 45min session) no communication in regards this I wouldn't of minded to reschedule as they knew prior. Instead I got another horse which was absolutely beautiful don't get me wrong but too tall and I didn't feel confident to ride it. I stopped the session after 20mins. I booked 5 sessions but won't be returning unfortunately

I've been going there for 4-5 years now; It's ABSOLUTELY amazing. Some horses can be a challenge for more experienced riders and some others are nice to start of with
