Rider's Lodge, Malaysia

This weekend we took all the children to Malaysia for horseback riding.   We had heard of this lodge from some friends of ours so thought we'd give it a try.   It's was very family friendly, not a long drive and great fun! Ryan had 2 one hour lessons, and learned to trot on the second day, Ethan and Aaron had 2 pony rides, and Susanna and I went on trail rides for 1 1/2 hours.   We were the only intermediate riders, so it was pretty cool, we were able to trot quite a lot on the ride.   We rode through the jungle and through some palm tree plantation where they harvest them for palm oil.   I tried to ask the guide details about how they harvest it ect, but between the horses, and the language barrier, I didn't understand alot. Aaron liked it so much he wants to go back for his birthday!   Thankfully, they have a golf course right next door, so Steve will be happy about that.

This looks like so much fun! Megan has been thrilled with horses this summer - had a couple chances to be on them at the conference. I am hoping to get her on one back in Singapore. Have you been up to Pasir Ris? They have a place to ride there - not very exciting but still pretty cheap.
