ABOUT US
Al Jeda Arabians is an endurance stable run by Alamdar and Jessica Dastani located near the border cities of Albury and Wodonga. We specialise in training young to experienced horses in endurance. We train for both the domestic and international market. Our aim is to provide good legging up before the horses hit the world scene, resulting in successful outcomes in Australia and overseas. We are proud to say that horses trained by us have gone on to do exceptionally well.'
