FAQ

Questions frequently asked about our horse riding holidays are listed below.

Q: Where does the name Sirin Riders come from?
A: Sirin Heights is a region located west of the Jordan Valley in Israel. As a child born in the Jordan Valley, Yair would look in the direction of the Sirin Heights, enchanted by the open space. He later built a home in Moshav Sharona which is located in the northern part of the Sirin Heights. He fell in love with the area’s beautiful scenery and spent his free time walking the land, getting to know every stone. He named his first purebred Arabian mare Noor Sirin which means “the light of Sirin.” In 2003, she won the Israeli Breeder Cup. After that, he named his breeding program Sirin Arabians.
