Truly disappointed in the club’s management manners.I had a subscription of 8 classes and Ramadan came in the middle of the subscription period. The classes schedule changed and I couldn’t attend.The following week I went all the way to the club ready and geared up for the class just for them to tell me that my subscription is expired and there is no way I can join the class.I used to go this club regularly since 2017 and I expected them at least out of respect to me being there to let me go through this one class.The club management should show more flexibility and consideration to its members. Despite the high price of their classes (compared to other clubs) this is the least they should give to the members.Now I have paid ~180 Dhs and wasted my time for nothing. What a shame 👎

Beautiful stable 1 hour drive from Dubai towards Abu Dhabi. You can visit the stables and see the horses but also take riding lessons. You can buy equipment on site and are at very reasonable prices. There is a coffee shop where you can sit and enjoy delicious smoothies, coffee and food.Whats special about the stable is that a very kind hearted woman by the name of Yasmine is keeping some rescue horses and gives riding lessons and also teaches people how to treat horses. She saves these horses from polo clubs or people who just want to get rid of them and sometimes she pays money for them just to rescue them. She then educates people on how to treat these gorgeous animals. Its really worth a chat with this absolutely amazing woman and learn about her horse rescuing efforts.

This place needs a serious upgrade. The facilities are nice, well maintained. But the administration is really bad.They took their money, and then they don’t care on what happens next.We took morning classes at 7:00 AM and never saw any ticketing or instructions of joining.No one answers the phone, and to be honest you feel everyone is being pushed to do their jobs.I really feel sorry for this place, as it’s not maintaining its full potential.My advice: look for a place that cares about its clients!As for the trainer, we had an experience with Mohamed and we took 3 classes that we never get the chance to ride the horse on our own freely.If you are thinking of Mandara: ABORT the idea.

Hidden gem of Abu Dhabi. It offers large and clean stables, charming coffee shop and a shisha place, playground for kids to run around and awesome teachers for horseriding. And of course beautiful horses!

Best place in Abu Dhabi to ride horses, yet, the most expensive one. It is for those who choose luxury.There is a restaurant adjacent to the arena, with a spectacular top view to the arena. Beautiful

We went with the intention of just being in a different environment and grabbing some coffee. No expectation whatsoever!But boy, were we in for a surprise!The atmosphere was amazing. I mean who wouldnt love to be around animals as you enjoy good conversation. Its just a puty that the sevice was terrible. Terrible is an understatement! We had placed our order of 1 wrap and a sandwich, we told the waitor we were goung out and when the order was ready he should come to tell us. When we went back inside, the food wasnt ready! We were told that he did not put the order through, as he did not take it down!The place was pretty empty when we went there, the tables were not cleaned on the outside.Its just a pity that the experience was bad, because it is such a beatiful place!(We ended up walking away, hungry!)

Our family recently had a very busy three week holiday in the U.A.E. After theme parks, water parks and lots of sightseeing, both our boys (5 & 9) were keen for a riding lesson. Luckily we found Mandara Equestrian Club, near Abu Dhabi. They were able to give Conrad (5 yo) a 45 min “pony ride” on a very kind 15.3h bay mare. Then Leonardo took over with a hour long lesson with Mohamed and a few other students. Mohamed is a genuine horseman and an outstanding tutor, I only wish we lived nearby. I would recommend Mandara as fine establishment to anyone wanting to further their riding ability, child or adult.

Worst instructor ever! The place is beautiful but the captain Eyad ruined my brothers lesson. Never been through such a bad experience when it comes to riding lessons. Whats the point of the lessons when instructor is not interested in teaching.Waste of money.I was so disappointed.

I personally dont ride, however, i love horses, the collection of horses in the club is beautiful and very selective, i believe its one the classiest horse club i have ever went to.The Restaurant;One of the best food I have ever tasted after my moms cooking. The club is very nice and clean. People are very friendly, helpful and professional. Next time Ill visit UAE I will definitely visit the place.

Instead of 45 minutes lesson weve got 25 minutes of walking around without single word said. The horse they gave me was fantastic, all their horses are beutiful. And the place looks nice. But whats the point if they dont teach you anything. They were just walking my friend in the circles, didnt let her go by herself even for a minute. Didnt explain enything🤷‍♀️ it was my gift and my really disappointed.And as I said,25 minutes instead of 45. I have time on my pictures.Wouldnt recommend this place
