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.

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.

We warmed up the horses in the arena before heading out.

It’s an equestrian club that I wanted to visit for a long time because I always see the beautiful photos from their Facebook page. Thanks to the moon and stars aligned, I finally managed to dropped by for a visit last week.

This is the main arena for riding activities. The horses are prepared for our trail ride.

Janice and I booked for a trail ride. Do note that trail ride is only available during weekday.

We mounted in the arena before heading out to the trail.

We’d really love to try the trail which is 20KM, which takes around 1.5 hour to complete. The bad news is the year end flood just went away, the track is not in great condition so we were only able to ride the mini trail within the facilities.

The view along the way looking over the arena and stables.

We did attempt to get into the trail. Unfortunately, we were only able to make a small loop before we decided to turn back after assessing the condition of the trail.

Nevertheless, the ride surrounding the grazing areas are still pretty enjoyable. It’s a very refreshing experience to have a relaxing ride.

There are total of 9 large grazing areas for the horses to roam around. What else can you ask for?

Of course, we also stopped by to take some photos with the magnificent view behind us.

We saw a happy horse playing with water in the grazing paddock.

More photos along the trail.

Some individual photos with the beautiful scenery in Cape Cavallho Equestrian Club.

After our ride, we spent a lot of time chatting with the owners. We call them Aunty and Wak.

I really love the personal touch and sense of being part of the family in the club. They are so friendly and you almost feel like chatting with some long time friends. They are kind enough the share how they got started and what their vision for the equestrian club is.

Wait… did I mention Aunty cooked mee hoon goreng for us too? Also not to mention they keep asking us to help ourselves with the coffee available for us.

After visiting so many clubs over the years, this is the first time ever I felt like I must show everyone who these friendly people are.

The hospitality offered by Aunty and Wak are simply fantastic. I highly recommend people to come over to sign up for riding lessons and make friends with these folks.
