after arriving in jakarta and exploring the city, our trip continued an hour west
to an area called tangerang
a place far from tall skyscrapers and big highways
for the next 2 days we will be living in APM Equestrian Center
learning how to ride horses and enjoying the amazing facilities they have to offer
all the vloggers, how was the ride here?

and the bathroom, so this is the main room and there's
2 rooms upstairs
are they all identical?
umm both rooms upstairs are twin beds
dude what a view
i know...so do they use this center area here?
yea they literally just let the horse play around here
oh really? they don't train here cause of the grass
but cause we train the horse with sand
these are called paddocks
so we just let the horse warm themselves up in the morning
and they would train in the main arena
it was the venue for modern pentathlon, so we built the pool literally 3 months before
for asian games yea
so its a 50 meter proper olympic pool? yes
thats awesome! how many people were here?
a lot i was in chicago

welcome to APM Equestrian and Resort
Only took like 3 hours to view it?
this whole place
but there is so more to explore
yea there is still more
the horse stable, the main stable / yeah that's the last thing we're gonna do
scary there, thought we're going back for a minute
yea man / thank you
good morning guys welcome back today is very exciting and early morning because today we are riding horses
this is my trainer miss diana / hey
have fun adit
ready for your adventure? / yeah lets go
so we've now arrived at the horse stable where the horses are getting ready and we're about to put on all our equipment including our hats as well as our shoes
for the horse riding lesson
this big guy though right here is Rhett's horse...hello just look how big he is, hello buddy...such a big horse
ok so we got our equipment on now and just waiting for the instructor to head out to the arena...i guess it's what it's called right?
oh my god / what do you think?
it's a hectic sport, thank you so much. ok where do i go now?
well how was it? good, more tiring than you expect / look you sweat a lot
it's quite tiring cause you gotta keep your posture right with your legs and your core
so it's a bit tiring
but lots of fun and i learned a lot in just a short time
welcome back
wow what do we got? / all the things / nasi uduk / chicken rice
i must say this is a heck of a workout and uh really makes you hungry at the end of the ride
rhett and claire heading to the mall right now to fix the hair situation claire had to go through yesterday. if you guys wanna check that full vlog
we're gonna link it right above, that's uh an entertaining vlog i think
that should be fixed by the time you come back
yeah...hope so
look at your fancy VIP car / nice eh?
dude is that a massage chair? / haha it looks like it / well i might have to come with you now
have you ever been in one of these? no
i think from now on grab taxis aren't gonna be the same / no
i think there's a little button here
have fun in that, geez
she's comfortable already / this is amazing, how do you do that? / the button on the side
alright you're living luxury life tonight
Claire
so i'm here with Adit, he is my friend that invited us out for this entire weekend
we had an amazing time we just finished the horse riding with rhett and claire and kintania. that was an hour session of learning how to ride horses which i've had never done before
had absolutely an amazing time, you really killed my knees. i'm surprised how the workout
it's...i hate when people say that when you ride horses, the horses are the one thats training but not the rider
it is really difficult actually / it's a lot of fun too, it's a whole workout, a full body workout
so if you guys ever tired of Jakarta you know walking around the malls and streets of Jakarta, you guys can take a one hour drive taxi out here to what it's called?
APM in cikupa tangerang, our place is called APM Equestrian Center and APM Resort
it's an hour ride outside of jakarta
yeah so it's much cooler climate here, really beautiful, really quiet um and if you wanna do, you come out here just for the day yea?
yea, it's open for public. we close on mondays but we're open from tuesday till sunday, closed on mondays
and then if you guys wanna ride go for a trial ride it costs Rp. 350k for non members on weekedays, on weekends it costs Rp. 400k
yeah so it's really affordable i think even if you do it in the States could be more expensive
oh for sure more expensive and you have to put the saddle all by yourself
like here we could also provide as you can see the equipment and all this is one of our trainer Mr. Franky / that's who i had, yeah you're so good
but yea we have a lot of trainers here, the chief trainers
yeah and if its your first time you know this was my very first time on a horse and
absolutely amazing experience you can absolutely do it, i think it's kintania's first time as well on a horse
so don't be afraid the trainers are amazing and they do an amazing job teaching you the fundamentals of how to ride a horse here
yea and we also have other facilities too like our land is 8 hectares....we have pool, there's also kids pool for your kids to enjoy
and we also have the villa so our main concept here is more than just an equestrian center
so you guys can wind down and relax here too cause its like literally in the middle of you know the nature
yea it's so beautiful here
that's what like to tell people here
it's a great place, so yea if you guys wanna stay here for like a weekend you do have villas which we have been staying in
