Our Story
More than four decades of passion, friendship, and authentic connection to horses and the island of Djerba.
A legacy born from passion
Our ranch was built on a lifelong passion for horses and a deep connection to the island of Djerba. Majid and Ali both began horse riding in early childhood. Before they ever met, horses were already a central part of their lives.
In 1980, their shared passion brought them together, and they began working side by side with horses. During the 1980s and 1990s, Djerba was a peaceful and open island, where long beaches, palm trees, and traditional villages shaped daily life. Horse riding was one of the most authentic ways to explore the island.
Through years of daily work, Majid and Ali built strong expertise in horse care and riding experiences, always focused on safety, trust, and the connection between rider, horse, and nature. In 2000, after many years of working together, they built the ranch — a place created from experience, friendship, and tradition.
