Horse riding in Singapore and Malaysia: The best stables

19th December 2017 by Expat Living 4 Min Read

Looking to saddle up and get your horse-riding fix in Singapore, or over the border in Malaysia? You won’t be let down – believe it or not, the area has a small but satisfactory equestrian scene that you can get stuck into (if you’ve got the pennies). Check out these spots for a trot.

Shh! This four-legged beauty is snatching a quick nap

EL Top Tip: Riders Lodge

If you’re after a brilliantly cheap stable, we recently enjoyed an afternoon at Riders Lodge, just a short trip across the Malaysian border. It’s amazing value for money, with hourly lessons and trails start at $53 per person, plus they offer heaps of options that cater to different group sizes and durations. Fancy a short break, so you can explore and tuck into their amazing cuisine? You can book a package that includes a set amount of riding, plus accommodation and meals – with a one-night weekend stay currently priced at S$287.17 per person.

Whether or not you have riding experience, the Singapore Turf Club’s Riding Centre is fairly accessible. First-time registrants who are new to riding will be shown the ropes in a seven-week riding programme, while more experienced folks will be assessed and assigned to the best class for their level. Once you’ve settled in, private lessons can be arranged at $130 each (normally booked in sets of 10) and you’ll have a pick of 40 ponies or horses.  They also have a café and a tack shop, which stocks all the equestrian supplies you need. Note: Hacks aren’t offered.

Gallop Stable

A wide range of lessons is available, including group lessons (gather your friends… or you know, your kid’s friends!) and 20-minute pony rides for kids aged three and above. Hour-long hacks on the lush trail along Fairways Green Track or Fairways Sand Ring are $85 a pop. If your wee ones adore animals, you can also book a stable tour where they can pet the horses and learn about caring for them.

Want to give your cherubs a birthday they’ll remember forever (or until next year, at least)? Booking this stable’s birthday package should work like a charm. It’ll give the birthday kid and their pals as many pony rides as they can squeeze in an hour, accompanied by an experienced handler. No hacks here, but they do conduct riding lessons for groups of four to eight ($400 for four sessions) and let experienced riders lease out horses if they’d rather ride unaccompanied. For equestrian-loving couples, they even offer wedding photo shoots with one of their maned beauties, set against the scenic forested backdrop.

Although you need a membership here ($1701.20 a month), it could be worth forking out if you’re a serious horse rider looking for schedule-friendly lessons. Classes are held every Tuesday to Sunday from 7am – to 7.45pm. You can also call ahead to arrange hacks along jungle trails near the club. When you’ve worked up an appetite, the club has three restaurants (also open to non-members) offering both local and western grub. We recommend dining in The Verandah’s al fresco area for a view of the green.

Hacks aren’t possible here, but these guys do offer riding packages for both children and adults ($640 for Singaporeans, $800 for PRs and foreigners – each eight lessons). One of their more interesting programmes is a pony playgroup for kids aged three to five ($80 per child). During the 90-minute session, kids will learn and play with all things pony-related, from arts and crafts to riding and cooking pony meals.

Horse Valley Riding Academy

Just 10 minutes away from the Singapore/Johor border, Horse Valley offers an easily accessible and affordable opportunity to either start your horse-riding journey, or further enhance your skills. Group private lessons started from RM100, and joy rides from RM15 per adult.

Amigos Horse Riding

Amigos Horse Riding School in Johor Darul Takzim offers a range of riding options, from horse and pony rides, to personal riding lessons, guided jungle rides, horse and stable rentals, all of which can be customised to suit your personal needs and experience as a rider. There are accommodation packages, too, so you can stay overnight in order to enjoy your riding.

Kuda House Equestrian Centre

A 45-minute drive from Singapore’s Tuas Second Link Expressway, the Kuda House Equestrian Centre offers a wide range of horse-riding activities, from riding classes and trail rides, to stable management courses and a three-day horse camp. All those looking to attend lessons should be able to perform trotting and control a horse by themselves, and all riders must wear correct footwear and an approved hat; regular riders are encouraged to own their own riding boots, jodphurs and gloves, with back protectors optional.

This year we say farewell to one of Singapore’s iconic structures, with the Sentosa Merlion ceasing operations in late October. Here are some facts and figures about the huge sculpture. 25 - It's age; the Merlion was built in 1995, designed and sculpted by Australian artist James Martin. 37 - Metres in Height. The huge structure included two observation decks – one at the mouth and one at the top of the head. 320 - Scales on the Merlion, each shaped like an octagon, or the Taoist bagua symbol. 4 - The number of teeth, thought to represent Singapore’s four ethnic groups – Malay, Chinese, Indian and Eurasia. 6 - Remaining number of Merlions in Singapore (including a pair of 3m Merlion statues on Mount Faber, along with the famous 8.6m original statue at Merlion Park). 90 - Cost, in millions of dollars, of the new “Sentosa Sensoryscape” project that will take over the Merlion’s spot, including a linkway between Resorts World Sentosa and the beaches to the south.

Melinda heads to a wet market! (Full video on IGTV Or YouTube) Did you know: The term “wet markets” came into common usage in the early 1970s when the Singapore government used the term to distinguish these markets from air-conditioned “supermarkets” that had become popular with the opening of Fitzpatrick’s supermarket in Orchard Road in 1958.
Singapore Slings are an iconic part of the Lion City’s history since 1915. But which one is best? Watch (swipe) and find out if the one where they all began is tops. Watch the full video on IGTV or our YouTube! Did you know it was illegal for women to drink alcohol then? The creator Ngiam Tong Boon created the Sling so women could hide the fact that they were drinking in public. #singaporesling #expatliving #reviewcrew #igsg #longbar @raffleshotelsingapore
Incredibly fun day flying kites with the USA Girl Scouts at Marina Barrage. Love that place! - Melinda
