About EFS - Members
 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’
Café, 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’ Café, 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.

Singapore Riding For the Disabled Association
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.

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.

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.
