Did you know that every year, many young and healthy racehorses go into retirement? This may be due to injuries sustained during races, or simply because they havenât been meeting race expectations. Sadly, these ex-racehorses often end up with nowhere to go.
Enter Gallop Stable, which is dedicated to giving these horses a whole new lease of life. It recently opened a brand new stable in Admiralty (alongside its stables in Pasir Ris and Downtown East) â say hello to Gallop.sg, a dynamic equestrian hub that aims to make horse-riding activities accessible to everyone.
Great news: on top of riding lessons, there are plenty of activities here that require no prior riding experience.
Things To Do at Gallop.sg
Go on a Pony or Horse Joyride
Start with a joyride on a pony ($15 per child) or horse ($20 per adult). These are available for riders between the ages of three and 55; riders must also weigh no more than 75kg.
Psst, donât forget to grab a helmet from outside the shop before your ride.Â
Tip: You donât need to make an advance reservation for any of the above activities â simply walk in to book them on the spot from 8.30am to 11.45am and 2.30pm to 6.45pm daily.
Enjoy a Stable Visit
Curious about where the horses feed and live? Pop into the stable for a visit ($5/pax), where youâll come face to face with 23 horses, which have really cute names like Coconut, Hufflepuff, Hulk, Dark Knight, Magic, and Robin Hood. Do note that photography and videography arenât permitted in the stable.
Have a Stable ExperienceÂ
If you want to learn more, take on a 45-minute stable experience ($130.80/two pax on weekdays, $174.40/two pax on weekends). This will give you a closer and more intimate experience with the horses, including a 30-minute stable tour and grooming, a feeding session, as well as a horse/pony ride.
Feed a Horse/Pony
Grab a packet of carrots ($2/pack) and a small spade from the shop, and head over to the feeding pen to feed an eager horse or pony. This is a really great activity for the little ones!
Additional Activities at Gallop.sg
Get Creative with Arts and CraftsÂ
Head to the Jackuda room to try your hand at some arts and crafts (from $2). Take your pick from oven-baked painting kits, sand art, felt sewing, and more. For a unique souvenir, how about painting your own horseshoe?Â
Youâll also find a range of drinks and ice cream in the shop, which you can enjoy at the alfresco tables and benches.
Feed Bunnies
Feel free to buy a packet of rabbit food ($2) to feed the rescued bunnies. However, donât be disheartened if they choose not to come to you; theyâre quite shy as theyâve all been adopted.
What to Bring
Pack mosquito repellent, sunscreen, and a water bottle.Â
Our Experience
We recommend visiting in the morning or in the late afternoon for a more enjoyable experience. Have your breakfast or lunch before visiting, as there isnât any hot food on site. Weâre especially heartened by how the horses seem like theyâre in really good hands; and we couldnât be happier to know that theyâve found a loving home.
