Kota Kinabalu: Tanjung Aru Eco Development Sdn Bhd (TAED) is introducing horseback riding in their effort to promote Tg Aru beach as a recreational destination.
Horseback riding is available for all ages, daily from 9.30am to 6.30pm, weather permitting. TAED Executive Director Datuk Ismail Abdullah said they are always looking for new and exciting activities for visitors to make Tg Aru a memorable destination.
“Horseback riding educates children valuable skills such as responsibility, patience and respect for people and animals, while at the same time, allow them to experience the exhilaration that one can only get while horseback riding” he said.
To kick off the new attraction, Sunset Stables invited children from Seri Mengasih Care Centre, a special development centre for intellectually and developmentally disabled children, to enjoy the new experience during the launching event.
“Riding a horse helps children with autism an opportunity to enhance language and cognitive skills, social and motor skills, the core skills needed to function in society. In fact, equine therapy is highly beneficial to children with autism,” said Seri Mengasih’s Vice Chairman Madam Tulip Noorazyze.
The horseback riding activity would be operational on short term basis until the Tanjung Aru Eco Development project takes place.
