Selman Marrakech has woven equestrian excellence into the fabric of its hospitality through a partnership with Sadeke Equestrian Art, the resident equestrian artist whose mastery of classical horsemanship shapes a distinctive collection of experiences for the resort’s guests.

The programmes blend the classical disciplines with wellness and exploration. Haute École Private Lessons grant access to the refinements of classical dressage, where guests ride alongside exceptionally trained horses in thirty minute sessions open to adults and children aged fifteen and above. The instruction unfolds against the ochre walls and manicured grounds of the resort, with an instructor present to guide the fundamentals of this ancient art form.

For those seeking reconnection through movement and breath, Equi Wellness unfolds across forty minutes, welcoming both beginners and seasoned riders to experience meditation and mindfulness alongside their horse. The practice takes place beneath a pergola that rises from the resort’s grounds, surrounded by the cultivated gardens and verdant landscape that define Selman’s setting.

Equi Vaulting introduces the playful physicality of horseback acrobatics, merging balance, movement and confidence into a single experience. The Selman Gardens Discovery allows guests to move through the resort’s lush planted spaces at their own pace, alone or as a pair, a gentler immersion into the landscape on horseback.
