A team that competes

Leith Jumping has its own show jumping team. Our riders and horses are schooled together at our Libyan base, then taken out to compete — over coloured poles and oxers, in front of full grandstands and under the floodlights.

They ride in competition every season, and they come home with results: clear rounds, placings, and first-place sashes on the podium.

The team
  • Riders and horses produced at our Libyan base
  • Competing at national shows, including FEI-branded competitions

On the Podium

First-place sashes, placings and trophies — with the whole team there to celebrate.

First place this week. The Leith Jumping team came home with the winner’s sash — a clear round when it counted, and the whole team on the podium to celebrate.

Every horse here is produced properly — flatwork first, then the fences. By the time we walk into the ring, the horse already knows the job.

You can see the confidence in the way they ride. Clear round after clear round — and they celebrate every one of them together.

One base, one discipline

Al Leith races across four countries, but the jumping is Libyan and only Libyan. Every jumping horse the operation has is stabled, schooled and produced here, rather than being spread across the racing yards in the UAE, France and the UK.

Keeping it in one place keeps it consistent: the same arena, the same routine and the same people, so a horse’s progress over a course is judged against its own work week to week.

Alongside the racing string
  • Shares the veterinary, farriery and turnout support that carries the racehorses between campaigns.
  • Runs to its own calendar — jumping horses are produced to a timeline set by their schooling, not by a race programme.

Schooling & flatwork

Day-to-day work on the flat and over poles — the rhythm, straightness and adjustability every jumping horse is built on, before a fence is ever raised.

Jumping training

Gridwork and course-work in the arena, progressing each horse at its own pace, with the same veterinary and farriery support the racing string receives.
