Our cavalry and your riding skills
To gain maximum enjoyment from our tours, it essential that
you be in good physical condition. You will be riding for 5
to 6 hours per day, often over long distances. Our tours are
recommended for experienced riders, comfortable at all
gaits, used to the outdoors and not frightened by the
limitless environment of the deserts and canyons. This is
dynamic riding, riding with feeling, needing confidence and
spirit.
Our horses
With us, you will be riding real Arab horses - almost all
mares of diverse origins - Jordanian, Syrian, Iraqi. All our
horses are generous and animated, all pleasant to ride
despite (or perhaps indeed because of!) their strong
constitution. The stamina and gaiety of Arab horses are well
renowned - they love to race. Please note, these are not
school horses, but working horses schooled by Arabs - light
hand and leg sensitive.
Our horses are bred by Bedouins, bred to withstand the harsh conditions
of Bedouin life and educated according to Bedu criteria,
culture and customs. Their family lineage assures them the
essential capabilities for desert life, not least of which
is to be fast, very fast…
Our horses are constantly trained, taking part in races and perfectly
epitomising the mentality of the desert horse - a desert
mentality we hope to share with you. Horses have long played
an essential and honorable role in the life and times of our
society and continue to do so to this day. If desired,
Bedouin horse customs can be reenacted for your group -
ambush techniques, real war time events to transport you
back to a time when the freedom of the desert was limitless.
Equipment :
Whilst we provide the highest quality tack for our horses,
you may also bring you own saddle with you - just let us
know what you wish!
Originally Bedouin horses were ridden without a bridle-bit for regular
activity - the bit was only for races and battles, or for
particularly spirited animals. Nevertheless, for convenience
and to suit our customs we use "olive" bits, Pelhams or
Hackamores with small branches.
Our horses are shod with full metal shoes for the rough terrain.

What is Wadi Rum:
To the Arabs Wadi Rum is known simply as The Valley
of The Moon. to travelers who have roamed its vast
landscape, Wadi Rum seems more akin to the surface of a
distant planet than to anything on earth. the combination of
its immensity, color and awe-inspiring shapes creates an
atmosphere that is almost supernatural. Lawrence of Arabia
who held Wadi Rum in high esteem, wrote: " Our little
caravan grew quite self conscious, and fell dead quiet,
afraid and ashamed to flaunt its smallness in the presence
of the stupendous hills ----Landscapes in childhood's dreams
were so vast and silent." (T. E. Lawrence: The Seven Pillars
of Wisdom). Wadi Rum's immensity is hard to leave. The
longer you spend there the more you become attached to it---
and the more you long for it when you are gone. The Valley
of the Moon makes man tremble at the power and majesty of
nature.
