About the offering
01The Children's Summer Autism Program is a specialized seasonal initiative offered by Al Shaqab’s Equine Education Department. It provides school aged children with autism access to structured summer activities that combine recreation with developmental support. Held in Al Shaqab’s indoor arena, the program integrates therapeutic riding with stable management to strengthen social interaction, communication, motor skills, and stress regulation.
The initiative offers multiple daily riding sessions throughout the summer, creating an engaging environment where children build confidence and practical skills while working with horses. Through guided activities that align horsemanship with therapeutic objectives, participants benefit from a structured setting designed to support meaningful developmental progress.
Program details, including age groups, session schedules, and fees, vary by season and are typically announced in advance of the June or July start date.
