Who this guide is for

Al Ain is horse country, with many farms and stables and owners active in endurance, Arabian horse shows and show jumping. Al Kharj is also a wide farming area south-east of Riyadh, with horse farms and private stables of its own. So this route sees a particular kind of shipment: an owner moving a stable or part of it, a trainer relocating to a farm in Al Kharj, or a family moving house with their horses’ kit and their car. This guide explains how we prepare those loads in detail, and also covers furniture, parcels and commercial goods for customers who have nothing to do with horses.

Shipping saddles and leather tack from Al Ain to Al Kharj

The saddle is often the most valuable item in the kit, and at its heart is the tree. If the tree cracks or twists, the saddle is no longer fit for a horse’s back even if the leather looks perfect. So we treat saddles as delicate pieces, not ordinary cargo:

• Clean before packing: wipe off sweat and dust and let the leather dry in the shade for a full day. Damp leather in a closed crate on a hot road goes mouldy.
• Light conditioning: a thin coat of leather conditioner protects against the dry road air; too much leaves it sticky and it collects dust.
• The right cover: a padded, breathable fabric saddle cover, not an airtight plastic bag that traps moisture.
• The right position: the saddle sits on a stand or base inside a wooden crate, never on its pommel or upside down, and never one saddle on another.
• Irons and girths: metal stirrup irons are removed and wrapped separately so they do not mark the leather; girths are rolled without sharp folds.
• Moisture absorbers: we add silica gel packs inside the crate, especially when loading in the humid months.

Bridles, headcollars and grooming kit

Bridles, headcollars, saddle pads, horse rugs and grooming boxes (brushes, combs, hoof tools) go into numbered fabric bags and boxes. The most practical system is one box per horse, with the horse’s name on it, so in Al Kharj the groom opens one box and finds everything. Metal rings on bridles are wrapped in cloth so they do not press into the leather for the whole trip.

Stable fittings and the horse walker

Stable fittings are heavy and bulky, but they are mostly metal parts that come apart and go back together. What matters is that no small part goes missing and holds up the assembly in Al Kharj. What we usually ship:

• Stall partitions, stall doors and metal or timber dividing panels.
• Feeders, water troughs and automatic drinkers.
• Rubber stall mats, which are heavy and are strapped in bundles.
• Stable fans, misting units and lighting.
• Show jumping poles, wings and arena equipment.
• Saddle racks, tack lockers and the grooming room fittings.
• Barrows and stable cleaning tools.

The horse walker

A horse walker is broken down into its parts: the motor and control panel, the central column, the arms and gates, and the surrounding fence panels. We ask for it to be dismantled by a technician who knows the unit, or with one present; then we number and photograph every part before loading. The motor and control panel are packed in a wooden crate with foam, and the long arms are bundled together along the length of the truck. Parts longer than 6 m need a 12–13.6 m trailer, while shorter ones fit a 10-ton lorry, so send us the measurements before booking.

From the yard: tie each bag of bolts and nuts to the part it came off, not into one general box. That alone saves a full day when the walker is reassembled in Al Kharj.

Live horses are not carried by this service

The same goes for feed, hay and bedding shavings: plants and soil are restricted, so they do not go in the load. It is easier to buy feed and bedding in Al Kharj itself, a farming area that grows alfalfa and wheat.

What else we ship from Al Ain

• Household furniture: bedrooms, majlis seating, sofas, kitchens and appliances, by the cubic metre in a shared truck or in a dedicated truck.
• Farm rest-house furniture: outdoor seating, tents, shades and dismantled traditional hair tents.
• Farm and livestock equipment: tools, metal pens and light equipment.
• Small parcels: from 45 AED by road.
• Commercial goods: stock for equestrian supply shops and other businesses with a Saudi commercial registration.
• Cars: luxury SUVs on enclosed carriers; sedans and pickups on open carriers.

Pickup areas in Al Ain

We collect from homes, farms and stables all around Al Ain. The places we reach most often:

• City districts: Al Jimi, Al Muwaiji, Al Towayya, Al Hili, Al Khabisi, Al Maqam, Zakher and Falaj Hazza.
• Industrial area: Al Ain Industrial Area (Sanaiya) for shop stock and workshops.
• Farms and outskirts: Al Foah, Al Yahar and the farms around the city, where we check truck access to the farm in advance.

On farms we ask about the inner road: is it paved or sand? Can a trailer get into the stable yard, or do we need a smaller vehicle for the internal leg? If you have a forklift on the farm, loading rubber mats and heavy parts goes much faster.

The road route from Al Ain to Al Kharj

Al Ain is closer to the Al Ghuwaifat border than Dubai or the northern emirates. The truck leaves Al Ain heading west into the Abu Dhabi road network, then follows the western highway to Al Ghuwaifat and crosses to Al Batha, where clearance is handled electronically on Fasah. From Al Batha it runs to Al Ahsa (Hofuf), then west via Haradh to Al Kharj, about 80 km south-east of Riyadh. The total is roughly 1,000–1,100 km. For loads that start in Abu Dhabi itself, see shipping from Abu Dhabi to Al Kharj.

Sea freight is rarely needed since Al Kharj is inland and the road is direct; it stays an option for large commercial containers through King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, then by road.

Transit table from Al Ain

Times are approximate and depend on the loading day, complete paperwork and border traffic; a dedicated truck moves on your date.

Luxury car shipping from Al Ain to Al Kharj

Horse owners often drive a luxury 4×4 between the farm and town. We move these cars on an enclosed carrier: no dust or grit on the paint and no direct sun on the leather interior for two or three days on the road. The enclosed carrier starts from 4,100 AED; on an open carrier an SUV starts from 2,750 AED and a sedan from 2,000 AED.

• Detailed photos of the car inside and out at collection, sent to you on WhatsApp.
• The car goes empty: no saddles, tack or personal items inside, because everything has its own place in the truck.
• A used car must not be more than 5 years old from its model year (counted back, excluding the current year).
• Vehicle registration (mulkiya), the export certificate and plate cancellation from the relevant Abu Dhabi authority, and a copy of the owner’s passport or ID.
• Modified cars and special cases are checked with the team before booking.

Air freight from Al Ain to Al Kharj

If you need a competition saddle or a horse’s kit quickly, or documents and small parcels, we fly them via Abu Dhabi or Dubai airport to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, then drive to Al Kharj in about an hour and a half. It usually takes 1–2 days including clearance.

• Chargeable weight is actual or volumetric, whichever is higher; volumetric = length × width × height in cm ÷ 6000. A saddle crate is large and light, so it is often charged by volume.
• Stable fittings and furniture do not suit air freight; road is the sensible choice for them.
• Lithium batteries, liquids and perfumes are restricted by air, including some liquid leather-care products, so ask the team before sending.
• Air pricing: send the details on WhatsApp and get the price.

Packing the rest of the load: home and farm

• Beds and wardrobes dismantled, with screws in numbered bags taped to each piece.
• Bubble wrap and blankets for glossy furniture; wooden frames for glass and marble.
• Thick covers for mattresses and sofas against road dust.
• Tents and hair tents folded completely dry and tied, with their poles bundled.
• Appliances emptied and dried, with doors secured.
• A contents list in Arabic or English, naming saddles and tack with their numbers.

Documents you will need

Personal effects and used horse equipment

• A copy of the owner’s passport and Saudi ID, iqama or residence visa.
• A detailed contents list in Arabic or English.
• New tack in commercial quantities (for example ten boxed new saddles) is treated as goods and is dutiable.

Commercial goods

• Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and a Saudi commercial registration for the consignee.
• Many consumer products need a SABER certificate; food, cosmetics and medicines have SFDA requirements.
• Goods of UAE origin with a GCC certificate of origin are exempt from customs duty; Saudi VAT of 15% applies on imports.

Cars

Registration, export certificate and plate cancellation, the owner’s ID, and an empty car. Clearance at Al Batha through Fasah is handled by the team with you. For the full document picture, see shipping from Al Ain to Saudi Arabia.

Prohibited and restricted items

• Narcotics, alcohol and pork products.
• Weapons and ammunition without permits, gambling tools and counterfeit goods.
• Drones and some medicines, including veterinary medicines, need prior permits; do not pack the horses’ medicine bag with the tack before checking with the team.
• Soil and plants are restricted: no feed, hay or shavings, and clean mats and equipment of soil and manure before loading.

Al Ain to Al Kharj prices, starting from

The final price depends on volume, weight, city, packing and documents.

What affects the cost of shipping stable kit

• The number of saddles and the wooden crates they need.
• The length of the walker arms and partitions: this decides the truck type.
• The weight of rubber mats and heavy metal parts.
• Farm access: a sand track or no forklift means a smaller vehicle or more hands.
• Shared or dedicated truck.
• Delivery point: a farm in Al Saih, Al Dilam or Hawtat Bani Tamim differs from a house in central Al Kharj.
• Documents and whether they are complete before loading.

Delivery to equestrian farms around Al Kharj

Al Kharj is one of the Kingdom’s biggest farming areas: dairy and poultry farms, alfalfa and wheat fields and palm groves, with horse farms and private stables among them. Many of these farms are not reached straight from the main road but by service roads and dirt entrances. So before the truck sets off we confirm with the receiver:

• The farm location on the map and the name of the nearest main road.
• The gate width, and whether a trailer can enter or we need to unload at the entrance.
• Whether there is a forklift or farm hands for unloading.
• Where the saddles will go: a closed tack room, not an open yard.

In town we deliver across Al Kharj’s districts, including Al Khalidiyah, Al Nahdah, Al Andalus, Al Aziziyah, Al Rawdah, Al Faisaliyah, Al Yarmouk and Al Salam, and to Al Saih, Al Dilam, Al Hayathem and Hawtat Bani Tamim. The truck arrives from the Al Ahsa side via the Haradh road, and Riyadh is about 80 km away, so if part of the load is for a house or stable there we deliver it on the same run; see shipping from Al Ain to Riyadh.

Tips for stable owners before shipping

• Start cleaning and drying the tack at least three days before loading.
• Photograph every saddle and its serial number if it has one, and list each item of tack.
• If the horse will arrive before the shipment, keep its daily-use kit with you, but keep it out of any car that is itself being shipped.
• Ask the team about optional insurance if the saddles or tack are valuable.
• Prepare a dry tack room in Al Kharj; summer heat there is fierce and direct sun damages leather.
• If there are several stables or delivery points, tell us at the start so the load is stacked in unloading order.

They are cleaned and dried before packing, placed in breathable fabric covers on stands inside wooden crates with moisture absorbers, and carried in an enclosed truck with nothing on top.

Do you dismantle horse walkers?

We prefer it to be dismantled by the walker’s technician or with one present; then we number and photograph the parts, crate the motor and control panel, and choose the truck by the longest part.
