Affordable courses at Putrajaya Equestrian Park By Viktor Chong viktorchong@thestar.com.my E questrian sport is a rarity in Malaysia, due to issues such as high maintenance cost as well as required expertise in livery services.
One would need only ten fingers to count the amount of riding clubs in Malaysia.
Hence, residents in Putrajaya are blessed to have their very own equestrian club at Precinct 5.
Owned by Perbadanan Putrajaya, Putrajaya Equestrian Park stretches over 70-acres of lush green field, with a stellar line-up of facilities to accommodate the horse-riding experience.
Courses at reasonable rates are offered to immerse riders with the sport, helpfully organised into levels such as beginners, intermediate and advanced.
For those who are interested to dip their feet into the horse riding business, they could try out the joyride sessions where no prior riding knowledge is required.
Concerning facilities, the stable is composed of 169 masonry stables, with an industrial fan each.
There are also 16 washing bays and 31 tack rooms to ensure the horses are properly maintained.
A sand-track of over 2km in length offers a wonderful experience for the riders and their four-legged friends.
Not to be forgotten are the sand paddocks designed to train riders in a safe environment.
Without a doubt, the facilities are top notch as the Putrajaya Equestrian Park has hosted professional equestrian competitions at both national and international levels.
Among some of the competitions hosted are the FEI Asian World Cup Qualifier, Sukan Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 2017 29th SEA Games for Polo Competition as well as the Premier Cup Series Horse Show.
