Overview

The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears. - Bedouin Proverb

In traditional Bedouin communities, children learned to ride before they could walk and horses were considered an essential part of life. As the world turns to computers and cars, a dedicated family of Bedouin horsemen are working hard to keep their traditions alive.
Mountain Horse Stables is home to award winning marathon (endurance) horses as well as many rescued happy trail horses. In addition to training and breeding, the stable does on-site equine rehabilitation. Our rehabilitated horses are returned to their (now educated) owners or kept to lead a life of pampered luxury as one of our trail horses.

We are licensed by the Petra Development and Tourism Authority and local Bedouin owned and operated.

What's included

Horse, Tack, and Helmets

What to expect

After a short orientation and fitting helmets, you will meet your horses and ride out from Mountain Horse Stables towards Little Petra and the Jordan Trail. Explore the backroads of Little Petra while getting a closer look at a few of the Popular Bedouin Camps (glamping) as we pass. After a few kilometers we will cross the main road towards the UNESCO Little Petra site. Riding along you will be able to see Nabatean carved water channels and steps. Optional stops at the Neolithic Village and the Little Petra archaeological sites. Return to Mountain Horse Stables tired and happy.

Horse riding is an inherently risky activity. Mountain Horse Stables provides safety equipment and experienced guides as is standard in the industry. All riders will be required to sign a liability waiver.

Rides will be adapted to the experience level of the riders. Horses and riders will be matched to ensure the safety of both.

For everyone's safety, only one person is permitted per horse. Children may not be carried by adults on horseback.

Non-riders are welcome to enjoy the hospitality of the stable while their party is out riding.
