BERAKAS RBAF SADDLE CLUB, SATURDAY, 13TH JULY 2019 - Twenty-six Officer Cadets of 3 Platoon Intake 18 went to Saddle Club at Berakas Garrison for their first horse riding activity. The Saddle Club is one of the RBAF’s facilities which are open for use to all RBAF personnel, particularly for Officer Cadets. It was a new and exciting experience for most of the Officer Cadets. The aim of the horse riding lesson was to introduce the skills required for the Officer Cadets to ride in the hopes that one day they will be able to progress to advance riding activities such as Polo. Officer Cadets of 3 Platoon were also taught on how to groom horses. Upon arrival, 3 Platoon was divided into two groups of thirteen where they will take turn; one group was taken to the stable to get a closer look at the horses and ride them for a good 10 – 15 minutes while other group was given a short and informative briefing by WO1 (U) Pg Anak Ahmad Rapae on the history of the club, horse management and how to approach a horse.
