Founders on Horseback
Deals Move Differently at a Walk
Founders on Horseback is a riding circle for founders and operators in Dubai — conversation first, saddle second. It is forming now, by interest list.

Why horseback, of all places
Most professional networking in Dubai happens in rooms built for it — and everyone performs accordingly. A ride works differently: side by side instead of face to face, phones away by necessity, and an hour where the only agenda is the track ahead. The conversations that follow are noticeably better.
The format is a hosted ride and a proper sit-down after. No panels, no pitches, no name badges.
Who it is for
Founders, operators, people building things. The circle is curated and small by design — formed from the interest list, with invitations screened personally by the founder of the club. Discretion is part of the value: who attends is never announced.
Riding experience is not required. Every session is guided, horses are matched to comfort level, and full equipment is provided.
How to put your name in
The interest list is open on WhatsApp. The club’s weekly calendar is the best way to experience the format today — the Sunday Sunset Social Ride ends with exactly the kind of table this circle is built around.
