My 6th lesson with Duncan! Everything is so nice! Duncan really knows how to teach me to ride, helping me go from a beginner to a real rider! And the whole space is really nice. They have at least 5 fields, so it’s very spacious for every rider! Besides the horses, each with their own personalities, Tofu (the dog) and Ginger (the cat) are really cute as well :3 Also, their receptionists are really helpful. Every time after riding, they’d love to know how I felt that day! Highly recommended for everyone who wants to try horse riding or learn it seriously!

My two kids absolutely love riding at Xina Horse Riding in Nairobi! The coaches are excellent, very patient, professional, and great with children. I've seen my kids learn and improve so quickly thanks to their guidance. The place itself is incredibly peaceful, a perfect escape from the noise of the city. Every visit feels relaxing and enjoyable for the whole family. We truly like it a lot and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm, friendly, and well-run horse riding experience.
