Putrajaya Equestrian Park

Putrajaya Equestrian Park

I have driven past Putrajaya Equestrian Park (Taman Ekuestrian Putrajaya) a number of times and it always seems as if not much is going on. Recently I went inside to take a look around.

This equestrian centre is not very well known and like many of Putrajaya's impressive recreational facilities it is under-utilised.

It has a riding school open to the public at reasonable rates with packages for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders.

I saw a number of horses and ponies stabled here, some of which might be privately owned.

I am not an expert on horses but they looked like they could do with some company.

I am sure they are being well looked after but they were being plagued by flies that hot afternoon.

If you are a 'horsey' person, why not go along to Putrajaya's Equestrian Park and take the horses for a ride?
