Frequently Asked Questions
What is lunging and why is it important for my horse?
Think of lunging as your horse’s version of a gym session — but with fewer selfies. It helps improve fitness, balance, and responsiveness, and it’s especially useful when turnout is limited during the hotter UAE months.
How long should a horse be lunged?
Usually 20–30 minutes. Long enough to work off some energy, short enough to avoid turning it into a desert marathon.
Do I need to provide equipment?
We can bring our own, or use yours if you prefer. Just make sure it’s clean — sandy, sweaty tack isn’t much fun for anyone!
Why should I clip my horse in the UAE?
Even in winter, UAE horses can overheat under their fluffy coats. Clipping keeps them comfortable, reduces sweating, and saves you from endless grooming sessions. Basically, less time brushing, more time riding.
What types of clips do you offer?
From a full clip to a simple bib, we offer the full “menu.” The best style depends on how much work your horse is doing — and whether you’d like them looking ready for the show ring or just neat and tidy at home.
How should I prepare my horse for clipping?
A clean, dry coat is essential. Think of it as your horse’s spa day before the haircut. Bonus: it keeps the clippers happier too.
Why is sheath cleaning necessary?
Geldings and stallions can build up dirt and smegma (the infamous “bean”). Left unchecked, it can cause swelling, discomfort, and even infections. In short — it’s not glamorous, but it’s essential. Your horse will thank you (in his own way).
How often should sheath cleaning be done?
Once or twice a year usually does the trick, but some horses may need more frequent care. We’ll help you decide if your horse is on the “annual tidy-up” schedule or the “regular maintenance plan.”
Can sedation be provided for sheath cleaning?
Absolutely. For sensitive or fidgety horses, sedation can be arranged and administered by a qualified professional. It keeps things safe, stress-free, and stops your horse from making it a rodeo event.
