The Bangalore Amateur Riders Institute, situated in the heart of the City at the Bangalore Turf Club, is a veritable nursery for those aspiring to learn horse-riding skills. The role of BARI is quite specific – to encourage and promote the sport of riding and horsemanship. It is the oldest of the riding centers in the City that tutors potential riders. Apart from teaching riders wishing to become jockeys in the sport of racing, it also grooms youngsters, both boys, and girls, for equestrian sport such as dressage, show jumping, and tent-pegging
