Pattaya has two serious equestrian venues — Horseshoe Point Resort at Mabprachan and Thai Polo & Equestrian Club north of the city. Both run riding schools, polo, and multi-sport days on large estates. This guide covers who each suits, booking expectations, and how to pair a horse day with Muay Thai or golf nearby.
