Horseback Riding Vacations – because horses are our passion!

Sirin Riders specializes in organizing and leading horseback riding vacations in Israel. We are not a travel agency or a reseller. All our riding holidays are designed and run exclusively by our own staff.

We believe horseback riding vacations are a fantastic way to learn about the fascinating history, cultures and peoples of Israel. Our horseback riding tours are conducted in small groups and allow us to visit places well off the beaten path.

Yair Sharet – Founder and owner

Yair & Roni back in 2012

Yair has been around horses since the age of three – They are his way of achieving balance and fulfillment in his life. He used to be a breeder of purebred Arabian race horses; two of Yair’s mares have won the Israeli Breeder Cup Race (2003, 2007). These days, he is a passionate endurance rider and trainer.
Yair is a well-rooted Israeli. His great grandfather immigrated to Israel back in 1882, and his grand uncle Is Moshe Sharett – the second prime minister of the State of Israel. Yair was born in 1962 and grew up on Kibbutz Degania Bet – a kilometer from the Jordan River. After his army service in an elite special forces unit of the IDF, Yair began raising cattle in the Galilee. At the age of 29, he decided to pursue a career change and began studying Business Management. He worked for multinational conglomerates for 17 years in high-level management positions. He is married to Neta and a father of five children.
Yair decided to lead horseback riding tours as a way of combining two of his passions: horses and the land of Israel. Sirin Riders is based on Yair’s belief in the special relationship that develops between people from different continents and cultures when they share a love of riding and horses. Yair is confident in his staff’s ability to provide his customers with a unique equestrian vacation experience.
He named his company Sirin Riders after Sirin Heights, a region located west of the Jordan Valley in Israel. He fell in love with the area’s beautiful scenery and in his youth, he spent his free time riding the land and getting to know every stone.
