For many young girls, horse riding is just a long held and cherished dream; but for some young ladies of the I.S.R. that dream has been realized with the
soft opening of the Horseshoe Point Resort and Country Club.
Horseshoe Point’s covered corral
Here in a grand covered ring that must have been designed for Spanish style dressage, children as young as six can learn horseback riding on ponies. Indeed,
6-year-old Isabelle Walker was doing just fine for her first lesson, being shown the way by riding instructor Pedro with her friend, 9-year-old Natalie Kongcharoen with only a
few months experience, supremely confident out front in the lead.
Horseshoe Point at the far eastern end of Siam Country Club Road covers an enormous 7 thousand rai of land and is just a dream come true for anyone who loves
horses and riding in the outdoors. The resort, which will not be fully completed until December this year, has beautiful large landscaped grounds that has accommodation,
restaurants, swimming pool, tennis and squash, spa and complete riding facilities.

accommodation units with their balconies overlooking the ring. There is another covered ring for competition, and a huge outdoor sand field with night lighting, a full sized
polo field, a grassed outdoor jumping field, a tack shop, a 24 hour veterinary clinic and 5,000 rai of natural scrub land for trail riding. Not to mention 90 horses; polo
