  • Wear appropriate clothes while going horseback riding - stick to comfortable pants or jodhpurs, and cowboy boots or shoes without high heels. Don't wear sandals or flip-flops
  • Don't over-accessorise - handbags, scarves and other accessories may hamper your riding experience
  • Be gentle with the horse. Do not pull on the reins too hard, and listen to your guide's instructions
  • Do not hold on too tightly to the saddle - be confident that you won't fall off (if this is your first time)
  • Sit up straight on the saddle, so that your back won't hurt
  • Establish a rapport with your horse. Feed it, greet it before you get on, and be gentle with it
  • Don't forget to wear a helmet!
  • Riding lessons are dependent on the weather. The lessons may be cancelled due to bad weather, so look out for the forecast
  • Take note of any allergies that your children may have before letting them interact with animals
Be it for tourists or locals, the riding centres in Singapore have something in store for everyone. Horse riding in Singapore makes for a great family outing or a fun, adventurous date too.
