Horse Riding in Malaysia – Getting Started

Horse Riding in Malaysia - Daniel Foo

Hello rider! This is Daniel Foo, an equestrian enthusiast. This page shares information about Horse Riding in Malaysia.

If this is the first time you are looking up for information about horse riding in Malaysia, I’d like to welcome you to the exciting world of equestrian in Malaysia.

Horse Riding Schools in Malaysia

The first thing you need to look for is a horse riding school in Malaysia. A riding school is the place you will get proper training on how to ride a horse safely.

Since there are not many riding school in Malaysia, my suggestion is to find one nearest to you.

Of course, if there is any reason that you do not want to attend the one nearest to your home for other reasons (for example, if you only want to train with a specific coach), that’s totally fine too as long as you do not mind the traveling time.

I will not include too many details on lesson fees here as the lesson fees inflate over time.

Some schools charge based on packages along with a small membership fee, while some schools charge averagely around RM90 – RM110 per 45 min lesson.

Lesson fees will vary depending on your levels, packages and schools.

Some of the bigger riding schools in Malaysia are: Denai Alam Recreational and Riding Club, Selangor Turf Club, Putrajaya Equestrian Park, etc but you have a lot of other options too if you want a less busy riding school.

So, head over to the Malaysia riding school page or make a Google search to find a riding school.

Horse Riding Equipments in Malaysia

As the up-front cost for the equipment can be a little overwhelming compared to other sports, I generally recommend new riders to only spend the minimum to get started.

It’s only when you know for sure to continue for longer term, you should then invest into better quality gears and some of the nice to have.

Helmet

Horse Riding in Malaysia - helmet

On your first day of attending your riding lesson, you will be able to loan one from the riding school. Perhaps, even for the following few lessons. Some schools might charge you a few Ringgit for each use, most will let you use for free.

If you think that horse riding is a sport for you after completing a few lessons, then you can consider to get a helmet for hygienic purposes. Consider allocating a budget of RM200-RM300 for a reasonably good entry level model.

Pro tips: The size of your helmet plays an important role. Make sure you get the right fit by trying out the sizes. You should always try on the helmet when you buy one to ensure it doesn't move around when you shake your head. Refer to the sizing guide from each brand if you are getting from online store. 

Gloves

Horse Riding in Malaysia - gloves

In the first 1-2 lesson you won’t be working with the reins too roughly, so it’s ok to ride with bare hands. Once you get into trotting on your own, getting a pair of entry level gloves will be good enough.

A pair of gloves will protect your fingers from too frictions with the reins. The reins might cause blisters if you get an active horse and you try to slow your horse down. Proper riding gloves also provide better gripe on the reins. So, highly advisable to get a pair.

Pro tips: It's much cheaper to buy the gloves online once you know your size. Personally, I do not buy an expensive pair anymore because they will still break at some point. A pair that costs around RM50 is good enough to use for 2 years, depending on how often you ride. When it breaks, simply throw it away and get a new pair. 

Riding Boots

Horse Riding in Malaysia - boots

In your first 10 lessons, you can probably get away with just wearing sport shoes. But soon you will realize it will be too much of hassle to clean your sport shoes after each lesson. Then, you know it’s time to get a pair of boots.

You can start by buying an affordable short rubber boots and pair it with half chap. That will get you going for your riding journey for a long time.

In my early days, I used to complete endurance competition with just short rubber boots and half chap so it’s totally fine with basic setup.

This is where things can get expensive if you get too fancy with your equipments too quickly.

I have seen friends who bought long boots for over RM1,000 and I also have friend who wears custom boots for over RM2,000.

Pro tips: You don't practically need a pair of expensive boots in the early days (at least the first one year or so). I'm still very much in love with my long rubber boots (that cost less than RM100) for almost all my rides. I just spray it with water after use and leave it in my car until the next ride. 

Half Chap

half chap

Half chap goes together with your short boots. It will protect your calf from stirrup. Get the affordable endurance type to begin with. Probably a little over RM100.

Half chap normally can last surprisingly long. The endurance type is easy to clean and dry, so it’s a good choice if you are just getting started.

Pro tips: Wear your breech along while picking one to ensure it fits tightly and comfortably. Avoid buying online if you are not sure of the size as the calf size might vary. 

Breeches

breeches

Breeches is commonly called the riding pants. Similar to boots, you can get away with your first 8-10 lessons with a pair of jeans or long pants.

If you are interested in horse riding for longer term, get a pair for more comfortable riding experience. A good entry level pair will cost you around RM 200-RM300.

Pro tips: Get a dark color to save the hassle of cleaning the stain. 

Well, these are the basic to get you started.

If you want to go a little further, maybe you want get a whip too. There are short whip for jumping and long whip for dressage.

Usually your riding school will be able to provide one for you. You can get one for yourselves if you want to be a more little fancy.

If you go for trail ride when you are more comfortable with riding, you might also consider getting a camera (like a GoPro or other brands) that can mount on your helmet to record the fun moments.

Here are some shops that you can visit to get some gears.

– Ancient proverb

I hope I have provided you a little bit more information about horse riding in Malaysia to get you started.

I will see you in the arena soon!

Kesuma Stable

Kesuma Stable is located in Semenyih, approximately 40 km away from KL city center.

Kesuma Stable banner

The stable was founded by Suhly and Ina, a lovely couple back in 2021.

They started off riding horses as personal hobby many years ago.

At the point of writing, the stable already has 6 beautiful horses, where 5 are mares and 1 is gelding.

As you enter the stable, you will see a big arena on your left.

Kesuma Stable arena

The arena is often use for horse back archery practice and also for basic riding lessons.

As you move in further, you will see the stables where the horses live.

Say Hello to Puteh, Shifa, Qaisara and Nina!

Further in, you will see 2 more horses.

They are Rose (left), a mare used to live in MAEPS that has a private owner and Gunther (right), an ex-race gelding that is going through schooling again.

Puteh is one of my favorite horses in the stable with a little bit of naughty character but has shown a lot of improvement in the recent weeks.

Saddles hanging next to Puteh’s box.

There is a feed area where the food and utilities are. Pretty neat!

Kesuma Stable - feeding

There is a washing bay that can fit up to 2 horses at one go, with rubber mat to avoid being slippery.

Sometimes, the facility also runs a short 1-day tent pegging course by Coach Nasrul.

The stable is privately run and not doing too many public advertisement. Please contact Ina at +60 12-694 7408, or check out their TikTok.

Algontory Trail Ride

Since my last visit to Algontory Stable riding in the arena, Algontory trail ride is now open for public.

We have a large group, total of 8 horses hacking out.

After a short briefing, we headed out with Afiq leading the way with his beautiful grey horse named Snow.

Our riding group came back and gathered for our breakfast. A spacious environment for us to move around in front of the stables.

Algontory team is generous to prepare nasi lemak, sambal and fried chicken for us as breakfast after burning the calories.

We cover approximately 12km in one and a half hour.

Algontory trail ride offers a good challenge for the experienced riders. It’s been a while since I last had such an exciting ride with the team!

The staff in Kasavilla Stable was kind enough to bring us some nasi lemak before our ride. Not to mention the nasi lemak was so tasty!

Kity and I booked for a trail ride and we mounted on our horses in the paddock.

Misty is a young and active horse. She can get a little naughty in the beginning but once she is warm up, she is so fine. It is really fun and exciting to ride with her once I took her out further into the trail.

Ben is an older horse with very steady pace. He was a little heavy in the paddock but once he was out he will carry the rider comfortably. A very good horse for riders who are getting started with trail ride.

Kasavilla Stable Trail

The trail offers a lot of greenery which is relaxing for the eyes and refreshing for the lungs.

We also got plenty of even and straight track for cantering. Super fun track!

Stopped by for photos after a long stretch of slow cantering with our riding buddies.

Apart from riding lessons, the resort also offers trail riding for beginners and intermediate riders.

For total beginners, the staff will lead the horses and walk the horses into the trail side by side with the riders. It is a relatively safe ride as the horses are pretty calm.

As I arrived to the resort in the afternoon, the receptionist together with the resort manager, Dennis took care of my check-in to the resort.

Dennis is your friendly host who is willing to go the extra miles to take care of your needs. Definitely A+ for his attitude in offering great hospitality to his guests.

Upon arrival, we had lunch in the cafe. The setting of the cafe is tastefully decorated to provide a cosy environment.

I booked for 2 trail rides during my 3-day stay.

Before mounting on the horse, Halim checked if we can handle the horses on our own before letting us out. The staff helped me with mounting on my horse.
