WELCOME TO ADAGIO RIDING STABLES
Adagio
Riding Stables is the first of its kind in India where pupils, young and old,
are paired with horses adequate to their own heights and sizes. This
methodology follows the European model and trains pupils in horse mastership
and animal management.
Adagio Riding Stables believes that riders should train on ponies and
horses which are proportionate to their sizes. They start off on ponies
[smaller-sized horses] which they can control easily, and quickly gain in
confidence and make swift, sure progress. They effortlessly develop into
confident accomplished riders.
Adagio Riding Stables has been hailed by the media [Indian Express article
The Horse Whisperers - 21 December 2009] and the country's equestrian experts
as “arguably India's first pony – riding club”].
Adagio has trained ponies & horses of varying sizes, to cater to any
rider from the age of 5 onwards. After several years of experience with
ponies and horses, the instructors know that there is much more to horses
than simply learning to ride. In order to infuse new riders with love for
this animal, all pupils at Adagio experience the totality of life with a
horse. This hands-on approach allows riders to understand and love their
rides [ponies & horses] and greatly enhances their self-confidence.
The academy is situated at Baliyawas, on the Faridabad road, just 20
minutes from Gurgaon or Chhaterpur. The creators have ample experience with
ponies, horses, professionalism coaching and children. They complement each
other perfectly. Rudrika Singh, the youngest and most ambitious team member,
is taking the academy to a whole new level with her expertise,, passion for
horses and love of equestrian sports.
Adagio Riding Stables regularly hosts leading riders from across the world
in various disciplines to hold clinics for enhancement of equestrian
knowledge of its riders. Some leading lights of the equestrian world who have
held clinics at Adagio are Dina Ellerman from Estonia and Natalia Rubashko
from Belarus.
Annually, a European pony camp is organised during summer holidays in India
for young children to grant them exposure and latest insight into the
wonderful world of equestrian sport. There they explore, learn and interact
with their European counterparts regarding the latest techniques, saddlery
and equipment used for development of their riding skills. Over the years
this has been an exhilarating experience for the participants.
Colonel PP Singh is one of the most experienced riders and trainers in
India today. He had ridden for India internationally in Show Jumping, Three
Day Event and Tent Pegging. He also has extensive experience in organising
and managing National and International Horse Shows. Most of the Army riders
today are his protégés, he being their Chief Equitation Officer at the Indian
Military Academy at Dehradun from 1998 – 2001.
For the last 3 years, he has been appointed by the Federation Equestre
Internationale (FEI) as the Steward General of India.

his passion for the sport full time.
Caroline Juneja grew up in France on the pony-club owned by her father. She
has been riding since age 5 and competing since age 7. Throughout her life,
Caroline has observed the happiness of children and adults around ponies and
horses; their joy at being able to care for, have fun with, and team up to
compete on horses which are the right size for them. She has been living in
India for the last 14 years.
Rudrika Singh, a graduate of St. Xavier's College, Calcutta, and daughter
of Colonel PP Singh, has been riding since age 10 and is currently competing
in all equestrian disciplines, including dressage and show-jumping. She is an
extensively-trained and talented National-level rider, whose passion for
horses is only equaled by her zeal for imparting her equestrian knowledge to
children. She enjoys “endurance racing”, in which she excels and currently
ranks no. 2 in India. India Today has featured her as one of India's leading
young sportswomen. Rudrika trains every year in France under Olympic rider
Rodolphe Scherer, at his exclusive Pony Club.
Adagio riding Stables are located in a beautiful, green environment,
nestled in the Aravali hills. A variety of birds can be observed and no city
sounds heard whatsoever.
With French pancakes, good coffee and a Saturday/Sunday brunch. Badminton,
as well as some space to kick a football, this is a great place for the whole
family.
