Based at Renaissance Equestrian Center in Saline, Michigan, Mara Ziadeh is a dressage rider dedicated to representing Palestine. Her current focus is training her horse, Nobel Lucas, with the long-term goal of competing internationally under the Palestinian flag and using her platform to raise awareness for the people of Palestine.

With a foundation in classical dressage and a background in eventing, Mara is known for her thoughtful, effective work with a wide range of horses- from young and sensitive types to off-track Thoroughbreds and more complex rides.

While she continues to offer lessons to a small group of dedicated students, Mara's larger mission centers around preparing for international competition and building a platform for advocacy. Through her blog, social media channels, and custom-branded kits, she invites others to join her journey and stand in support of both sport and social impact.
