Since 1990 · Jeddah · The Kingdom's First
A legacy of
pioneering ambition
One of Saudi Arabia's first riding clubs — and the first founded and led by a woman. This is the story of how Trio began, and the family that built it.
The Beginning · 1990 · A Family of Firsts
It began with a decision
There was no club, so Arwa Mutabagani built one. In 1990, in Jeddah, she founded what would become one of Saudi Arabia's first riding clubs — and the first ever founded and led by a woman.
What began as one woman's ambition became a family legacy. Arwa's daughter, Dalma Malhas, grew up on these same grounds and carried the family's horsemanship onto the world stage — the first Saudi woman to compete, and to win a medal, at the Youth Olympic Games. Two generations, two milestones for the Kingdom.
A Family of Firsts
Two generations, two milestones for the Kingdom
What began as one woman's ambition became a family legacy — carried from the founding of a club to the podium of the Youth Olympic Games.
The Founder
Arwa Mutabagani
The first woman to attend the Olympic Games with the Saudi Olympic Committee delegation, in 2008 — and the founder who gave the Kingdom an equestrian home of its own. She built Trio from the ground up, opening the sport to a new generation of Saudi riders.
The Daughter
Dalma Malhas
Arwa's daughter — the first Saudi woman to compete and win a medal at the Youth Olympic Games. She carried the family's horsemanship from the grounds of Trio onto the world stage.
Trio Today
Still, at heart, a riding club
Since 1990, Trio has grown into a wider sporting destination for families in Jeddah — but the horse remains its soul, and the legacy of the women who built it is its compass.
A Legacy You Can Be Part Of
Since 1990, in numbers
From a pioneering vision to a centre of equestrian lifestyle in Jeddah — developing riders who reached the Youth Olympic Games and hosting its own international equestrian events.
Another First
The tour that brought the world to Jeddah
Trio is the first equestrian club to create and host an international showjumping tour in Jeddah — now in its second edition. Multiple weekends. More than 500 horses. Riders from across the globe, competing where the Kingdom's equestrian story began.
