Gurgaon Horse Club

Gurgaon Horse Club was established in September 2020 by Tara McCartney and her husband Vikas Malik after they spent some time managing another Gurgaon riding school and sealing a vision of leisure with horses as the focal point. To offer top notch training instruction and horse know-how, they were joined by national show jumping athlete Joginder Singh Nain.  

Neither Tara nor Vikas had a horse background but when the lockdown set in in March 2020, they spent their days with horses – learning riding, horsemanship and stable management. But more importantly, they also discovered the grace, empathy and intelligence of these magnificent creatures and a new love and passion was born. Not having had the privilege to be born into a horse environment but the good luck to experience them later in life – they are determined that pleasures and benefits of leisure with horses should become available to everyone.

Joginder, on the other hand, is a life-long horse man and it shows in everything he does. He started competitive riding in class 4, attended one of India’s best sport schools and currently  owns 26 horses of his own – several of whom are resident at Gurgaon Horse Club.

Joginder combines more than two decades of experience with his own style of charm and sense of fun, to push the students beyond their comfort zones, including preparation for competitions, while still keeping then safe, confident and laughing.           

Gurgaon Horse Club was founded by Tara, Vikas and Joginder with a vision: access to horses, nature and community to bring locals and visitors back to basics among the challenges and stresses of urban living.   Fusing Western standards of quality, organization and efficiency with Indian hospitality and spontaneity.

Gurgaon Horse Club welcomes you and your family to experience horses in a natural setting while enjoying comfort, reliability and safety.
