So hoping to continue this new hobby in Bangalore as well, I looked on the web for some information. I was pleasantly surprised to find a number of horse riding schools here. I decided to check out one of them along with my friend namely, the Equestrian Centre of Excellence, NRA Grounds, Jayamahal Road.
The centre has a reasonably big stable with about 25 or so horses. A few horses that we got to saw were quite healthy and big (please don't ask me the breed or the race of the horses). The fee is Rs. 3500 for ten classes each lasting 45 min. This is not too bad a deal; but I wish the they had more place to ride the horse. They have only got a 200-250 m circular ground to practice riding.
Once, you have mastered the basics there is an area where you may learn jumping with your horse or learn to play polo.
We didn't want to directly register for the 10 classes, so we asked for a single session. For this, we were charged Rs. 400 for about 45 min. Also, the instructor, who said he was an ex-army man, was quite enthusiastic in giving us some tips and techniques.
Follow this link for more pictures of the club. This weekend I am planning to check out another horse riding club near the turf club. Untill then happy riding !
