Bukit Timah Saddle Club Bukit Timah Saddle Club
Established in 1951, Bukit Timah Saddle Club (BTSC) is one of the largest equestrian centres in Singapore.

Bukit Timah Saddle Club has 100 stables, 70 of which are used for private livery. BTSC's Riding School maintains a further 30 horses and ponies suitable for both adults and children. In addition, there are two blocks of stables which are maintained for visiting competition horses and spelling.

BTSC is privileged to have more than 13,000 sq. metres of arena area. Our three main arenas are configured to provide up to five dressage arenas and a separate jumping arena. These outstanding facilities are complemented by two lunge arenas, the use of a sand training track, extensive trail rides and 15 grassy paddocks for turnout as well as rolling boxes.

Both the livery and riding sections of the club are managed by experienced professionals. Our primary focus is on dressage and show jumping, and we have gained a reputation as a centre for excellence for equestrian sport, with many of our riders competing successfully at international standards, proudly representing Singapore at the South East Asia Games, and at the CDI in Sydney.

BTSC annually hosts Singapore's FEI World Jumping Challenge, and inter-club competitions are a regular feature of the calendar throughout the year. Dressage riders compete from preparatory level to Intermediate 1 and Prix St. Georges, and show jumping classes range from 30cm clear round and equitation classes, to 130cm courses built to international standards.

The club is supported by specialists such as veterinarians, freelance instructors, visiting international clinicians and an in-house farrier.

Riders' Cafe, located in our clubhouse, offers a relaxing venue in which to enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner, from Tuesday through to Sunday. In addition to Riders' Cafe, our clubhouse provides a members' only terrace, locker room facilities with showers, administrative and management offices, and a children's playground.

Conveniently located off Bukit Timah Road, set amidst a lush tropical haven, BTSC is also a perfect environment for casual leisure riding as we have access to several kilometres of grass trails and roads, which are not accessible to public vehicles.

Pony Club of Singapore Pony Club of Singapore
The Pony Club is an international voluntary youth organisation for youngsters interested in horses and riding. It was founded in England in 1929 and is now represented in more than 30 countries. The Club was first founded in early days of the 1960's as the Singapore branch of the UK Pony Club. The Singapore Branch of the Pony Club was registered in the Singapore Registry of Societies roster in 1996 to obtain its current name. Its objective is to encourage young people to ride and to learn to enjoy the sport connected with horses. At the same time, it educates members to look after and to take proper care of their animals.

Riding For the Disabled Association of Singapore Riding For the Disabled Association of Singapore
The Riding for the Disabled Association of Singapore (RDA) provides free, therapeutic horse riding lessons to children and adults with disabilities from all over Singapore.

RDA Singapore was founded in 1982, with just 5 riders. Since then more than a thousand children and adults with disabilities have been given the opportunity to ride, and the opening of our new centre in 1997 has meant that we can cater to over 100 riders per week. With the addition in 2001 of a roof over the DBS Riding Arena our goal is to increase that number significantly.

Riding For the Disabled Association of Singapore Singapore Polo Club
Founded in 1886, during Singapore's colonial past, the Club has a long and fascinating history.

Set in acres of lush, tropical grounds, the Singapore Polo Club is a world apart from Singapore's bustling pace yet located just minutes from the heart of the city's hectic business and commercial centre.

The old world, rustic charm of the clubhouse with its open verandah and views of tropical greenery and open spaces provides a relaxing and understated, natural ambience.

The main focus of the Club is of course polo and more generally, equestrian sports, but other sports activities and facilities are also well represented. Members can either keep their own polo ponies at the club stables, or alternatively lease ponies from the Club's own string. Beginners, or those wishing to hone their skills may sign up for polo lessons with the Club's resident pros. For those interested primarily in horse riding, you can participate in any of the Club's varied Riding Section programmes and activities including basic riding, competitive dressage as well as show jumping at various levels, either in one to one or group lessons with our qualified riding instructors.

You may also choose to enjoy the pleasure of simply hacking along a wide selection of jungle trails that are accessible from the Club.
