When enquiring about training, it helps to have your pet's size, breed, and temperament in mind, as these factors influence which programme is the most suitable fit. Bring along your pet's vaccination records, as most reputable training providers require up-to-date documentation before a first session. It is worth asking whether BTSC offers a trial or assessment visit so you can gauge how your pet responds to the environment and the trainer before committing to a recurring schedule. Clarify whether sessions are conducted on a drop-off basis or whether owners are expected to be present, and confirm whether training takes place at the Turf Club Avenue facility or at another location for islandwide bookings.
To take the next step, reach out to BTSC directly via phone or their enquiry form — details are available on the KakiList listing — and ask about current availability, programme options, and fees before making a booking.
Visit the facility, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance before drop-off.
Me and my family have been riding here for under a year. They have amazing horses that are well looked after. There are a number of very good instructors that one can chose from. The club has a great community feel and serves riders from beginners to competing and advanced. We have seen much improvement in the facilities both for the horses and the riders, there are also clean showers and clean toilets so changing before or after school/work is easy.
My daughter did the beginner experience and really enjoyed it. The horses are well trained the staff was helpful. Looking forward to going back!
I've been riding at BTSC for just over a year, and it has truly been the best riding experience I've had compared to other clubs and riding centres. The ponies and horses are exceptionally well cared for, and the arenas and stables are clean and tidy. The grooms, staff, and instructors are not only professional but also warm, friendly, and always willing to help. Even though I'm already a member at another club, I couldn't resist signing up for membership at BTSC. While it doesn't offer typical club facilities like a restaurant, swimming pool, or gym, what truly sets BTSC apart is the outstanding quality of teaching and the supportive community of riders. Here, mutual respect among riders prevails, regardless of their level of experience. BTSC feels like a second home to me—after my office! I look forward to many more years of riding and being part of this wonderful community.
I go there all the time and I love it sometimes there are even dressage or show jumping shows
Great horse club. The facilities are great, the staff is friendly, it is a really good environment for horse people.

BTSC has not published its fee schedule publicly, so pricing should be confirmed directly with the club before booking. As a general guide, pet training sessions in Singapore typically range from around S$80 to S$200 or more per session depending on the type of training (basic obedience, behaviour modification, specialised skills), the dog's size and breed, and whether sessions are conducted one-to-one or in a group class format. Additional costs to clarify upfront include any registration or assessment fee for the initial session, package pricing versus per-session rates, and whether transport to or from your location is included or charged separately for islandwide bookings.

Most pet training providers in Singapore require proof of up-to-date vaccinations before a dog begins any programme. For dogs, this typically means the DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) combination vaccine and a valid rabies vaccination, with records usually expected to be current within the past 12 months. Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccination is frequently required where dogs will be in close proximity to other animals, including group training classes. Bring your pet's vaccination booklet or a veterinary certificate to the first session. If your pet's records are not current, arrange a vet visit before enquiring about a start date, as most facilities will not accept an unvaccinated animal. Confirm BTSC's specific vaccination requirements when you contact them, as policies can vary.
In Singapore, pet-related facilities such as boarding kennels and grooming salons are required to hold a licence issued by the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) under the National Parks Board. However, the specific licensing requirements for standalone pet training services may differ, and BTSC has not listed any regulatory licences in its KakiList profile. It is advisable to ask BTSC directly about their AVS licensing status and whether they carry insurance covering injury to or illness of your pet during a training session. Understanding the protocol for veterinary emergencies — including who bears the cost and how incidents are handled — is an important question to raise before your first visit. Visit the facility, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance before drop-off.
