Pony Rides at Bukit Timah Saddle Club (BTSC)

A few months shy of 3 years of age, I decided to take the Chickadee for a pony ride at Bukit Timah Saddle Club. I opted for this club as the stables are open to public and there are decent cafes nearby.


BTSC is a proper riding school. When I visited, their stables were clean and there was a buzz around it as how it should be; horses neighing, people in horse riding outfits and staff fussing over the horses.


BTSC caters to the younger amateur group by offering regular pony rides. This is available on weekends from 10.30am to 1pm. The fee is $10 for a ride. 


Look for a crowd of people under a small canopy near the "pony rides" signboard. That's where the queue for the rides is.

With BTSC, safety comes first, they provide little helmets which is a perfect fit for kids. It didn't hurt that it was oh-so-cute as well!



A little step stool was provided for the little ones to mount the pony.


Two staff members were at hand to help the Chickadee on the pony and to make necessary checks before the walk.


The pony pretty much trotted around the corner and back. The route taken was quite scenic with heaps of greenary. (Don't forget the mozzie spray).


I, for one, had such a blast snapping pictures of the Chickadee. 




I'm amazed at how many shots I took in such a brisk walk. 

If your kid is ready to sit on a saddle, I would recommend BTSC for a riding experience.
