Durian Farm Trail Ride

It’s the durian season in the month of July. We thought it was an interesting idea to bring our horses to Segamat, Johor for trail ride in the durian farm.

The Saville Equestrian Park (SEP) team floated the horses over. The team did an amazing job to prepare for the weekend rides.

It was really exciting because it is the first time ever we do such a program.

Let’s roll the tape…

We did not have a big stable with all facilities set up in the durian farm.

The SEP team is resourceful enough to prepare what we needed for the riders for a safe and pleasant ride.

1st Durian Farm Trail Ride

We started our 1st ride in the Saturday evening. Most of the riders could only travel (from KL to Segamat) in the Saturday morning.

Rider’s photo time.

In the trail, the view from horse back.

Carrying a durian while riding is definitely challenging.

2nd Durian Farm Trail Ride

We have another trail ride on Sunday morning with some friends from overseas.

Wasted no time, we headed into the trail.

Riders in the trail having a slow walk upon entering the trail.

We took the ride slow and easy with lots of time to enjoy the peaceful trail.

Of course, not forgetting to take some photos.

Before heading back, we passed by a short stretch of tar road.

3rd Ride

On the Sunday evening, we have the 3rd group of rider who recently completed riding 160km in Mongolia.

The track was a little wet due to the earlier rain, where we did a lot of walking.

There were also plenty of long and dry track for us to do slow cantering.

And smile!

One more group photo before we exit the trail.

Once we returned, the group enjoyed the durian buffet.

The farm workers opened the durian continuously to satisfy the hungry stomach after the ride.

The trail covers approximately 9km.

It was not a very long track but it was definitely one of the most interesting trails that combines riding horses and durian buffet.

Great job to the Saville Equestrian Park team with the flawless coordination and wonderful hospitality for a fantastic trail ride. Good job, team!
