A New Experience With A Horses

Who can deny about tryin a new experience?  This is a new experience for me besides my task that i should search information about horses. Really excited!

Saturday on November 5th 2016 we planned to go to Unit Rehabilitasi Reproduksi Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan IPB. Before we visited the place, one of my friends have already made an appointment with FKH club called ‘Equestrian Club IPB’. The IPB university is near from my home but i had to go to campus first to meet my friends because they didn’t know the way to the university. Arrived at 08.00 but i had to wait for others, then around 08.30 we went to IPB by motorcycle. Its about 2 hours from Pakuan University to IPB (Bogor Agricultural University) and the weather was very hot as usual but thats not a big problem because i enjoyed the road so muchhhhhhh.

After we arrived at the university we got a visitor card and we were not finished the road because this university was very big so we were confused looking for URR even though this is the second time i visited IPB University. But one that i like from this university was the fresh breeze because there were a lot of big trees.

Finally we arrived at URR and we met Putra he was a fifth semester student at FKH IPB and the person that gave us so much information, he gave us information about the feed-giving for horses, the grooming list, the list for the things that should taken care of the horse and many more. He also show us the stable. There were fourteen horses but it was someone else’s horses, the student have been trusted by the owners to treat and taking care on it. They also have an equastrian club named “Equestrian Club IPB”, this club is for student in IPB who interest about horse sport, horse health and horse care. You can follow their instagram account to get more information about the activity.

Everyday the horses was taken out from the stable for grooming (cleaned up and brushed), the person who usually cleaned up the horse was not a student but another one who also helped the student if they have to study at college. After that the horse placed on the paddock for sunbathing. Around 10.00-10.30 the horses were back to the stable. If the horse was dirty, they cleaned it up again before they put the horse on the stable.

There were local and import horses in URR. The horses that i saw was the local one and female. Her name is Sophia and the type of it was Gayo. “Gayoe” is horse that comes from the island of Sumatra and the name comes from the Gayoe hills on the island. These horses are primarily used for transportation and are fairly common on Sumatra still.

This is sophia!

Then we finished our trip without riding the horse, we are not allowed to ride it because the owner was not there. What’s more fun was i can see the horse who won the national championship in URR but sadly i forgot to take the picture of that horse. But this trip still was my another great experience!

Here are some pictures when i was there ^_^

The Best Place to Visit in Jakarta 

Exhausted but still excited, on October 7, 2016  i visited  Thousand Island which one of the most touristic islands in Jakarta. Thousand Island is located in Taman Impian Jaya Ancol. Its name is famous because it is consists with so many island with a very beautiful view and that’s the reason many foreign tourists visit.

Arrived at 05.00 a.m at Bogor Station, i have to waiting for others coming because i went to Thousand Island with my college friends and also my teacher. It takes 45 minutes from Bogor to Jakarta Kota Station so i decide to sleep at the train because i was very sleepy. From Jakarta Kota Station we have to take a public transportation to Taman Impian Jaya Ancol gate. After we went the gate we waiting for the bus which take us to the harbour and im very tired because of my heavy bag.

Unfortunately, we only visited three island of so many island there. The first island which us visited was Bidadari Island, it takes 20 minutes from the harbour to the island, and once we arrived there i was very excited about the view, the view was so pretty blue, eyecatching, breathtaking, its beautiful at all...

Here some pictures of mine when i was in bidadari island..

This is the first picture that we took, me and my friend didnt know what pose should we did

Almost all in the pict i didnt open my eyes because of the weather guys, very hot!!!

look like nothing happened but the weather almost burned my skin lol but the view couldnt resist me to take a picture

A true candid picture

The second island which us visited was Onrust Island. This island was a historical island because so many heritage of the Dutch and in ancient times Onrust Island held a sanitorium for people suffering from tuberculosis and a quarantine station for pilgrims returning from the Hajj to Mecca. I ididnt take so much pictures there because i was very tired and also i didnt go with others to take a tour with the guide, but when i walked around with my friend i found a good spot so i think its a must to take a picture there lol

One that i love from this island is the fresh breeze

The last island to visit is Kelor Island. But sadly our boat cannot access the island so we just saw kelor island from away but the island was very beautiful too. I wish in the next time i can visit the island with my family. ^_^
