In Brief :
Bukit Kiara and its 70 acres of lush greenery, located only minutes from the city centre, is the perfect place for business, entertainment and family get-togethers. The resort offers adventurous recreational activities ranging from horse-riding to swimming and sweating it out in the fitness centre.

Main Features :
Bukit Kiara is the premier horse-riding club in the country with experienced foreign and local instructors providing lessons for competitions or just for the fun of it. The equestrian centre is equipped with various facilities - stables, a large indoor arena, a newly-built polo field with its pavilion and more, easily making it one of the best clubs around. The polo field is designed with a state-of -the-art drainage system and the use of a Bermuda hybrid grass known as Greenleas Park, which dries within half an hour after heavy rain. There are even horse trails winding through the surrounding forest. More stables are being built to cater to the increasing number of horses which currently stands at more than 160.

Horse-owners are allowed to keep their animals at the equestrian centre for very reasonable livery charges, including grooming, feeding and shelter. The riding school offers riding lessons not only for novices but also those with some experience. Members may choose to learn with a leading groom, a trainee instructor or an experienced instructor at varying fees.

The indoor arena has hosted various equestrian competitions as well as highly published events such as concerts, product launches and weddings, and is a favourite spot for corporations to hold their Family Day. The arena is especially kind to horses' hooves due to the use of a soil and soft rubber particles mixture.

International and National showjumping and dressage competitions are held regularly vis-à-vis the World Cup Showjumping Championship, South East Asian League Premier Cup Series and Merdeka Carnival. On a more caring note, the resort's horses are used in the Riding for the Disabled (RDA) programme, run by volunteer members who are dedicated to helping special children from Spastics centres .
