Well hello! Great to have u drop by! What happened with you and
Pelangi??? Bad experience? Yea the horses in Pelangi are in pretty
bad conditions, they have this funny skin diesease with patches of
hair missing... 
The reason I still go back and ride there is because of Doris. Oh
how much I love her. She's always so eager to please and willing,
and there's a slight air of loftiness around her; she doesn't like
to be mounted from the steps if she recognizes you. Instead, she
wants to be mounted from ground, haha. All it takes is a slight
maneuver of the rein and there she goes trotting or
cantering.
She's very alert and her ears are always twitching back and forth,
waiting for commands. Although at only 14h, she has a huge bouncy
trot and canter.
Kimchi and Melbourne(Mos's) are much much smoother in their gait,
which makes them pretty much easier to ride. I haven't really tried
Alabaster though, maybe I'll work him one of these days as I heard
he's much more alert. Hmm...
If it helps, I heard from Halim few days ago that the
school(Pelangi) is going to buy some new horses. That probably
explains why they're extending the stables and overlaying new
tarmac there. So yea, sit tight and wait for the good news. Maybe
the conditions for the horses there will improve when things start
picking up.
The above image is the polo ground at leisure farm. The track laps
about 830m, wow! Great for galloping! The paddocks at Pelangi and
Amigos is only about 160m so...
In fact, I was at leisure farm last week. They've only got 6 horses
there and only 2 are fit to ride. Big field they may have but it's
pointless if you can't let loose the reins, get what I mean? haha.
From what I heard, they stopped playing polo there because of some
royalties issues. What the...
Yea I've always wanted to take up a polo course in Selangor, which
costs about RM2000 for 24 lessons and horse. Relatively cheap and
the best deal you can get if you ask me. Still, it's too far away
and it's going to burn a deep hole in my pocket!
Hell yeah we should ride out. Langkawi looks deliciously tempting,
how say you about it? I can drive, if you don't mind my old beat up
car that is... lmao.
By the way, I'm going up to Pahang this afternoon to visit my
grands. Whew, 8 hours drive man... Nuts. Well, I've drove longer,
no big deal. Yeah I've booked a half day ride with Lorraine
Bottreau at Bukit Tinngi, Pahang. Will post some pics when I'm
back.
LET'S RIDE
