Welcome to Ram Bar Aviv, a place where a deep love for horses intersects with unmatched skills and knowledge in the world of horse racing, along with a dedication to providing exceptional care both on and off the racing track. Our tale kicks off with the path of Ram Bar Aviv, our founder, and expands into a broad perspective focused on promoting horse well-being and fitness through ethical training practices and offering supportive aftercare services that bring about positive transformations for these magnificent creatures.
The Art of Horsemanship
In 1995, when Ram Bar Aviv was born among meadows and the soothing sound of hooves hitting the ground rhythmically echoing around him, his earliest recollections intertwine with the horses that populated his family's estate. His father was a breeder and trainer of racehorses who noticed Ram Bar Aviv's keen interest from the time he first marched beside a mare as a toddler. At the tender age of two, young Ram was already perched atop a saddle, riding alongside his father during leisurely strolls through the countryside that fostered within him a profound connection with these majestic creatures.
Before he could walk confidently, he could ride
During his formative years, he observed his father closely monitor slight changes in how the horses walked and their gentle, welcoming sounds, along with the attentive care given to the animals in the stables. This planted the seeds of respect for Ram Bar Aviv that would stay with him throughout his life journey, shaping him into who he is today. He came to understand that being a horseman goes beyond just a job; it's about building a bond based on trust, compassion, and consistently giving thoughtful care.

When Ram Bar Aviv turned eighteen, he decided to enhance his knowledge about horses by obtaining certification as a sports and therapeutic riding instructor. Understanding the physical and emotional advantages that horses bring to individuals of varying abilities, he established his initial horse ranch— a unique blend of western riding academy and therapeutic sanctuary exclusively designed for children.
Built on Instinct. Refined by Experience
Ram Bar Aviv shared the delights of saddle skills and
horsemanship with students through traditional ranch and
reining methods in his riding lessons. He also collaborated
with schools and therapists to launch equestrian programs for
kids facing various obstacles, like physical disabilities and
cognitive difficulties ranging from autism spectrum disorders
to motor impairments.
This farm served as a haven for families looking for a
supportive atmosphere where learning to ride wasn't just about
skills but also about gaining confidence and self-esteem,
together with balance and skills development hand in hand.
With Ram Bar Aviv's patient guidance and teaching, countless
children found the therapeutic bond between humans and horses.
Training Grounds for Greatness
Ram Bar Aviv finally achieved his dream of launching his own
specialized training center in Israel at 27, combining all
his varied skills. His journey has turned out to be quite
interesting – from being a jockey to providing therapeutic
instruction and coaching pace horses for farriery purposes,
all at one place.
- Indoor facilities for schooling throughout the year.
- Paths that cut through the beauty of the wilderness.
- Tracks that were designed for speed training and interval
workouts.
- Therapeutic outdoor spaces designed to promote positivity
and encourage social interaction.
The founder’s comprehensive strategy, harmonizing
biomechanics with well-being and personalized fitness
regimens, swiftly drew the attention of horse owners who
desired more than just standard training services for their
horses. He viewed each horse as an athlete and developed
tailored routines that honored their distinct physical
characteristics and emotional requirements.
Ram Bar Aviv showcased his horsemanship skills by clinching
the top spot in a challenging 50-kilometer endurance race
for walking horses in 2016.
In 2022, he emerged as the champion in Israel's prestigious
speed horse competition by demonstrating his skills in the
dynamic realm of harness racing.
Throughout his life, Ram Bar Aviv and his team have achieved
several victories (ongoing) in regional events – evidence of
his steady coaching approach and thorough knowledge of horse
performance.
Every stage of his journey so far has underscored a reality.
The foundation of success in horse sports lies in the
nurturing care provided at Ram Bar Aviv. This
belief is woven into every aspect of our operations.
We put a lot of emphasis on the health of our horses by making sure they get time outdoors to socialize and have access to activities that help relieve stress. By establishing a foundation and using consistent signals along with positive feedback, we foster trust and develop a shared understanding between the horse and its trainer.
Because Confident Horses Make Fierce Competitors
Every detail in a horse's care regimen is customized, from nutrition and hoof maintenance to individualized exercise programs. This comprehensive method results in horses that are healthier and happier while also being more willing participants in their activities and displaying increased confidence and resilience, as athletes.
In line with Ram Bar Aviv's enduring dedication to
horsemanship values, no horse is abandoned after their racing
career ends. With initiatives such as HEROS Charity, we
provide a well-organized re-homing and post-racing care
initiative.
Assessing the behavior of each horse to find the fit for their
next career path or retirement environment is an essential
part of this program. And so is finding the match for
adoption, with knowledgeable caregivers or institutions
offering therapy and education programs.
Aftercare That Goes the Distance
From starting a journey in disciplines like dressage and show
jumping to enjoying therapeutic rides or simply retiring in
the peaceful pasture, our horses embark on fulfilling new
adventures with the support of thoughtful arrangements and a
community of devoted supporters.
As we progress further in our journey of growth and
development, our goal remains unwavering:
-
To set the benchmark for horse racing, training care and support on a global scale.
-
To establish collaborations in the sector to introduce horse-related programs to a wider audience,
including children and students, with special educational needs (SEN).
- To prioritize horses, in all decisions we make—acknowledging their essence and contribution while making sure every step they take is guided by knowledge and compassion with reverence.
