Horse riding enthusiasts in Kashmir will be excited to know that the first horse riding school has opened in Budgam.
”Fazlullah Farms” will train the youth of the Valley to become professional horse riders who can represent Kashmir at the national and international level.
The farm has been started by a young man named Ali Abbas himself a rider. He says a lot of people used to stop him while he rode horses, asking if he can teach them too.
”The idea was already in my mind a few years before but it came to fruition a few months back because I wanted people to ride horses. There are people who wanted to learn but didn’t have enough money to buy a horse or keep one. So in order to teach them I started this school. The response has been surprising. We get 5-6 admissions everyday. We have 12 horses, eight for riding and two trainers and two helpers,” said Ali Abbas, owner of Fazlullah farms.
