Following the success of its Ramadan Camp, Al Shaqab will now organise the Al Shaqab Summer Camp, a new programme aimed at providing intensive training to anyone interested in learning horse riding during the summer break.
While the Ramadan Camp was only open for children from 3 – 18 years of age, a key feature of the new programme is that it is also open for adult riders so as to promote equestrian sports to the whole family and community.
“We have been receiving many requests from adults to be allowed to participate in our horse riding classes. The Al Shaqab summer camp will provide this unique opportunity for all equestrian enthusiasts to learn equestrian skills. It would also allow parent-child bonding as they participate together in a common activity which they both enjoy,” said Al Shaqab’s Equine Education manager Mohamed Sultan al-Suwaidi.
The camp will include four weekly sessions from July 1-27, 2017. Participants will be divided into three age groups — 3-7 years old (Group 1), 8-17 years old (Group 2), 18 years and above (Group 3).
Fees for Group 1 are QR600 per week, for Group 2 it is QR750 per week and for Group 3 it is QR900 per week.
Training sessions will be held Saturday to Thursday in the afternoon — 3:30pm to 4:15pm, 4:30pm to 5:15pm, 5:30pm to 6:15pm and 6:30pm to 7:15pm.
The organisers will be limiting the number of participants per week to ensure the best experience possible, and therefore early registration is advised. For more information and to register, visit www.alshaqab.com or call at 6662 5379.
