Ramadan bazaars in Singapore are a visual spectacle – the twinkly lights, the colourful signs from the stalls, the variety of food – and ponies?Gallop Stable – who runs stables in Bukit Timah and Pasir Ris Park – set up an area at the bazaar offering pony rides for kids, feeding and photo sessions and art activities. Sounds pretty innocent right?

“They are born and bred in Malaysia known as Bajau ponies and they are usually used for performance and events and adaptable to our topical weather,” the spokesperson added. It is believed that these animals are much less a danger to the public and do not have to be confined the way wild animals are. They are also often treated as pets and have close interaction with their owners and handlers.Gallop Stable have been around since 2003, providing affordable riding classes and an easier and inexpensive way for the public to get close to horses and ponies.

The six ponies at the bazaar will be rotated between the various activities like rides, photos, feeding and also rest. Gallop pointed out that the time and distance traveled for the rides were limited.
