Trail ride at Paya Indah Wetlands

I went out to the trail with Pizu and Abeh in the morning.

Pizu on the left and Abeh on the right. Both are very good riders.

We have a yellow theme on that day.

The track is filled with greenery and it was so relaxing.

We could occasionally see a patrolling security guard in the track.

We took a slightly different route today and headed out to the Gamuda construction site.

Of course, not to forget some photos along the way.

Crossing the road, we are going to Starbucks!

By the time we head back, the sun was already bright and high.

There is a beautiful rumah Malayu along the way back.

Throughout the trail, there is also plenty of lake.

Very calming experience when riding along the lakes.

I used to ride here often about 6-7 years ago with MM2020. The operation was ceased and I have always wanted to come back here. I’m glad that Pizu and his team is operating the facilities here.

SEDEC Equine is located approximate 16km away from Kuching city center in Sarawak.

When I arrived, Coach Shaza, was training her student.

At the point of writing this, SEDEC Equine is the only riding school I could find that is open for public for riding lesson.

A staff was lunging a very active horse before putting the saddle on.

The riding center is also open for public to try a joyride if you want to get a taste of riding a horse with an affordable fee.

The staff will help you to get on the horse and hold the horse to walk for a few circles.

If you are into taking riding lesson, Coach Shaza can teach you the right techniques for horseback riding.

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.

Totally enjoyable the Sunday morning ride. Thumb up!

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.

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.
