Sirin Riders

A name rooted in the Sirin Heights

Yair Sharet named the company after the Sirin Heights, west of the Jordan Valley. The area connects his early riding experiences with his interest in Arabian horses. Sirin Riders designs and runs its own riding programmes. Its routes cover several parts of the country, so choosing the riding area matters more than locating a single visitor centre.

Choose the terrain before the date

Allow time for a substantial ride

The Hebrew local programme sets its shortest outing at four hours. There is a break for rest and food during the ride. Private outings for couples on the coast or Carmel are also advertised as four-hour experiences. Families, small parties and individual riders can discuss a private arrangement. Ask about group size for your selected departure: local rides and the longer riding holidays have different formats.

Beginner outings and riding holidays have different rules

Selected local beginner rides require no previous riding experience and are generally advertised for ages eight and above. Advanced groups are intended for riders comfortable at trot and canter. The English riding-holiday FAQ sets a different threshold: children over fourteen need the relevant riding experience and skills. An eight-year minimum therefore applies to suitable local outings, rather than every trip offered by the company.

Horses, saddles and helmets

Pack for several hours in the saddle

• Clothing The operator requires long trousers and closed shoes. Bring sun protection for a summer outing.
• Food and drinking water The local programme states that food is served during a break and water bottles are carried in saddlebags. Discuss dietary requirements and kashrut needs in advance; special catering is not automatically confirmed.
• Loose belongings Keep your phone in a securely closed pocket or saddlebag. The operator advises against heavy backpacks and large cameras on the ride.
• Fitness and suitability A beginner outing still involves several hours on horseback. Share your experience, weight and any health limitations before confirming. The operator needs this information to assess a suitable horse and itinerary.

Questions before booking

• Can I turn up without booking? Arrange the date, route and participation with Sirin Riders first. The contact address at Magal does not imply daily walk-in riding sessions.
• Can a complete beginner join? Yes, selected local outings are specifically offered without a previous-experience requirement. Request a beginner ride and allow for the advertised minimum length of four hours.
• What is the minimum age? Suitable local rides are advertised from age eight. Longer riding holidays have separate conditions: the English FAQ welcomes children over fourteen with the required riding skills.
• Where does the ride start? It depends on the programme. Main bases include the Caesarea coast, Carmel, Kfar Kish and Metzoke Dragot. Obtain the exact meeting point from the operator.
• Do I need my own helmet? A helmet is compulsory. The operator says loan helmets are available. Mention it when booking if you would like to bring your own.
• What should I wear? Wear long trousers and closed shoes. Secure your phone and small belongings. Sun protection is useful for summer outings.
• Are food and water provided? The Hebrew local programme describes food during the break and water bottles in saddlebags. Discuss special dietary needs ahead of time.
• How do I confirm the time? Call or WhatsApp 052-3867445. Confirm the departure date, riding level, assembly point and start time. The official pages do not give a regular weekly opening timetable.
