haha......
all i know is bkt kiara is d most luxurious n had d biggest stable in town n they had an indoor arena too...

but i onli visit tmn equine b4.....small, nice n cosy....

as for STC, my fren compain tat d stable is rather untidy/dirty...

yeah...mont kiara has one of the most expensive horse riding lessons...but it comes with quality of course...

i was on a waiting list for upm's horse riding lessons...for 1-2 years...hahaha...when they finally called, i am soo busy that i have to pass it...hahahhaa...

r u kidding?? 1 or 2 yrs waiting list?? tat's too much...
how much do they charge? or izit FOC for UPM's student

im not joking! hahahaha...i think i got 2 semesters waiting...so that cuts out to be like a year...and no, its not FOC for upm students...u will only pay for a minimal fee...such as rental of gloves, saddle, etc...no need to pay for coaching (from the time i know la)...

but as upm students, u are expected to clean the horse (after u ride it) and the riding equipments...this is usually done by the cleaners, but since upm students are getting it cheap, they will have to do it themselves...but i think its good experience though...

as for the charge, i think i forgot la...hahahaha...its kinda cheap for upm students...for outsiders, well, i didnt check it out...

how much is upm student paying?

hello....just curious......is the horse riding lesson open to public?
can i join?......

yaya. it's open. u can try mont kiara equestrian club. if not mistaken, they offer lesson. but not so sure abt the fees.

i mean the upm.......it is open to public?
mont kiara equestrian club expensive.....

i not so sure about upm one. probably got.. mont kiara still ok la.. i dun think tat expensive..

For anyone interested in horse riding, i would NOT recommend this place in Lenggeng, Mantin Negri Sembilan called AS Equestrian Center (_http://www.asequine.blogspot.com).


I had life-threatening experience here last Saturday, 26 Jan 2013. I purchased 3 vouchers worth of RM 398 via Groupon. The deal was for Horse Riding lessons + Jungle Trekking. But the horse riding lessons = NONE! Straight away take us to trek in jungle and choose not suitable horse.

The horse handlers are not equipped to handle the horses which are actually race horses. And worst part is the management is very rude and not concerned of safety. I fell of the horse during a trek as the horse is known to be aggressive apparently (WHY they put me on the horse ?? i dont know!) And this was while the horse handler was holding the horse i am on, and suffered back injury. Was sent to Hospital even. i could have been worse and am very thankful
i am not paralyzed or worse! But the management lady there called Puan Saadiah is very rude and arrogant when we asked for refund of our money.

THe best part is the lady can proudly say her center no insurance.. "Report lah to police, i got 400 other customers."

So we lodged police report. But police also not seem to be doing anything.
My advice to those interested to go on lessons, please go to a center that practices high

standards of safety and is insured. So i dont recommend this AS Equestrian center. Please choose the clubs that are more professional.

Thanks for the warning! I saw the Groupon offer as well and it was pretty tempting but good thing I didn't go for it.

That's what happens when they have a beeline of customers waiting. It's one thing being rude but gravely dangerous when they're negligent of safety!

anyone who's interested in Horse riding should try out Denai Alam Riding Club. It's easy access from the Guthrie Corridor Highway (ext. Bukit Subang)

I was so impressed with the amount of students and trainers there. not too many but i think it's a pretty good place to start. best of all it's not too expensive
