Pony riding in KL

I have always had a soft spot for horses, and there have been times in my life that I have been severely bitten by the horse bug. I have always thought that horse riding is an excellent hobby that teaches kids compassion, responsibility and respect towards animals. There is just something magical about these creatures! So I was pleased when my youngest changed her approach to ponies from “panicked” to “very eager”.

The easiest place to try out pony riding is at Mont Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort, where pony rides for kids are available every Sunday morning 9-10. RM15 for a couple of laps around the school feels pretty steep, but the smile on their face is priceless, really!

A much more affordable option is the DBKL-operated stable at Titiwangsa Park, open on weekends, public holidays and school holidays in the mornings and again in the afternoons. Rides there are only RM1 – RM1.50/lap, depending on the kids’ age. They also do carriage rides.
