At first Steve would take the horses to Al Shaqab, the royal stables, to work with HE Sheikh Mohammed whilst 3 practice hills were being built in the desert in order to help prepare for the task. The three ramps were of varying degrees, the first a slope of 14 degrees, then 22 degrees and the third was the actual 26 degrees, same degree as would be ridden on the night of the opening ceremony.
HE Sheikh Mohammed was a good keen learner and quickly got the hang of the new riding position, which at first was very foreign to him. Steve was impressed with his ability to learn. The saddle had to be secured by a breastplate to stop it sliding off the horses back. Practice happened on the hills every night until the stadium was completed.
At the stadium there were two parts to the ramp. From the ground a shorter one went up onto the central stage, and from there it went up again. This was the longer run to a platform which overhung the edge of the stadium on top.
It is from this platform that the caldron would be lit as it was raised into position. Initially only the smaller ramp was available for us to practice on at the stadium, so the horses would run up to the stage and be brought back down in a specially designed flying box, which was operated on the end of a crane. The inaugural ride up the whole ramp was an anxious, tense moment where David and all his executives held their breath for 14 seconds. Even though the horses had been working at this angle for a long time, the full length had not been available to try until now.
From the ground it seemed like it took forever to get to the top! A huge roar of approval went up when they scampered to the top for the first time. After this, both horses would practice on the ramp most nights. Malibu was clearly the strongest on the ramp, being able to make the journey up to six time a night. Towards the end both horses were extremely fit. Training for this segment was severely hampered with our training being held up due our 1 -1 stadium not being completed.
As a result our initial training was restricted to a small training arena where we began work on basic troop drill and the skills required for the riders to become a team.
Training sessions for the Desert Horse segment were held 3 — 4 nights a week. It always seemed like there was never enough hours in the day and Steve found himself constantly running between meetings, Hero Horses and Desert Horses.
