About Capital Country Club

Capital Country Club is an equestrian estate on the Haymana road in Gölbaşı, south of central Ankara, and home to Başkent Binicilik Spor Kulübü (Başkent Riding Club). The club is registered with the Turkish Equestrian Federation and describes itself as one of the largest and best-equipped riding complexes in Türkiye, open to horse lovers of every age and level throughout the year. According to the club, its facilities include an international-standard competition arena, plus one indoor, one semi-open and one warm-up arena, so training can continue whatever the weather on every day except Monday. Stabling is in 3x3 metre boxes, with room for more than 200 horses, round-the-clock camera monitoring, veterinary checks, feeding programmes, lunging areas and grooms. Riding starts with one-to-one basic training on horses suited to the rider's level, covering the rules of mounting and riding in theory and practice. Riders can then move on to show-jumping and course work, schooling, and cross-country rides for sport or pleasure, on their own horses or the club's. The Pony Club introduces young children to horses, safe behaviour around them and the basics of riding, and the club runs beginner, intermediate and advanced riding courses, professional livery and federation licence exams. It also hosts show-jumping competitions, such as its summer and Victory Day cups. Beyond riding, the estate offers memberships with restaurant and café privileges and use of a pool and fitness facilities, and it hosts weddings and company events.
