One of the few activities that feels like both an adventure and therapy is horse riding. The excitement of galloping across a big open field, the connection you form with the animal, and the serenity of being in nature all come together to make horse riding a special experience. Fortunately, Delhi NCR is home to some excellent equestrian sports clubs and horse riding schools where you can learn and even train to compete. Here’s a list of some of the best spots in the capital city:

Best Horse Riding Spots In Delhi NCR

1. Adagio Riding Stables

Adagio Riding Stables is a great place to go if you want to ride horses in a European-style setting. Established in 2009 by Colonel P.P. Singh and now run by his daughter, Rudrika Singh, and French rider Caroline Juneja, this club follows a true Indo-European model of equestrian training. What makes it special is that both kids and adults are trained on horses or ponies suited to their size, just like in European schools. The stables are nestled in the beautiful Aravalli Hills, with two big arenas and plenty of open space where the horses even graze on grass grown within the property.
