If you’re looking for a new hobby or skill to pick up this year, hold your horses—we’ve rounded up some of the finest riding schools and stables across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. Apart from being a great sport and form of exercise, horse riding is also known to have therapeutic benefits for many people.

Though it is physically demanding and comes with its fair share of risks, the rewards of horse riding often outweigh the challenges. So giddy up, and let’s get right to it. (We’re done with the horsey puns, we promise.)

1. Equestrian Park Putrajaya

One of the more well-known places to learn horseback riding is the Equestrian Park Putrajaya. The park regularly hosts polo matches and welcomes visitors from all walks of life. Children and adults are welcome to take short joy rides, go on stable tours, and have professional photoshoots done here.

But its main appeal is its Horse Riding School. Ranging from RM600 to RM900, they offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced-level packages. Each lesson involves coaching students in their horsemanship and maintaining and caring for these precious animals. Lessons are taught by professional and experienced trainers.
