📍 Al Mushrif - W52 02, Abu Dhabi
Royal Stables offers structured riding lessons and pony rides for children aged 3–12 in an expansive green facility. Each child is assigned a personal groom. Birthday packages include full event coordination with catering.
My daughter has become a member of the Royal stables this year and she really enjoys having riding lessons. The territory is very big and green,the horses look healthy and the instructor Eleni is always kind, polite and friendly to the students.Each child has their own groom who helps them .Also there is a cafe where you can have a snack or coffee. My little one likes to observe the birds and cats walking on the territory. Sometimes there are nice celebrations like a Halloween party on the stables.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for children aged 3–12 seeking consistent riding instruction in a premium, well-maintained setting. Birthday parties here are a standout option — the coordination team is responsive and thorough. Older boys above 12 may find lesson options restricted. Follow up enrolment enquiries directly in person if WhatsApp contact stalls.

“We celebrated my friend’s daughter's birthday at The Royal Stables I would like to emphasize the responsiveness and willingness to help Michelle Tamayo and the Royal Stable team! She was on call for 2 weeks of planning the party, answered all questions and helped with the organization, including coordinating the catering and the guest animator. They were involved and cared about the celebration. At the celebration: 1. The path from the parking lot to the clearing was decorated with balloons and created a festive atmosphere 2. Tables were prepared for treats and the outdoor area was beautifully decorated 3. The kids got to ride the ponies (the kids were thrilled) At the very beginning of the party we were confused by the smell from the stables, so we promptly moved the celebration from the outdoor area to the on-site cafe. I would like to mention the excellent work of Michelle and her team, who helped us to move the celebration to the cafe (it was not easy, as the cafe was closed on Saturdays, but it was opened for us). For which we are immensely grateful! We were pleased with the celebration, which took place largely thanks to Michelle and her team and can safely recommend a children's party on the territory of the equestrian complex! Our guests said that it was the most beautiful children's party in Abu Dhabi!”

“Absolutely stunning and well kept stables. The garden stole my heart and all the staff I met were friendly and going about their chores to do. The horses are in mint condition.”

“Was lovely for my little one to have a pony ride ( costs approx 80 AED per 20min ride) there's a cafe but it was closed when we went in 2022. Lost one star since the riding school doest cater to older boys.”

Overview
Set on large, manicured grounds in Al Mushrif, The Royal Stables pairs each young rider with a dedicated groom throughout every session. Instructor Eleni draws repeated praise by name for patience and professionalism with young children. Horses are visibly well-nourished and immaculately kept. Birthday packages are fully coordinated — the team handled two weeks of planning communication for one event, covering catering and entertainment.
