Pada 08hb Januari 2013, Ekuestrian Sarawak telah membawa seekor kuda bernama BUDI dipadang  SK Jalan Arang Padawan, Batu Kawa, Kuching untuk program menunggang kuda kepada pelajar-pelajar Pendidikan Khas Istimewa. Program ini adalah anjuran bersama pihak PPKI SK Jalan Arang dan Persatuan Sukan Ekuestrian Negeri Sarawak sebagai satu program amal dan satu bentuk kaedah therapy kepada pelajar-pelajar yang terlibat. Diharap usaha ini akan diteruskan lagi dengan lebih kemas dan teratur agar ianya akan lebih memberi manafaat kepada pelajar-pelajar dan semua pihak yang terbabit. Pihak Ekuestrian Sarawak sangat menyokong program ini kerana merasa sangat yakin akan potensi dan faedah yang terhasil daripada usaha menjayakan program ini. Sebilangan besar pelajar-pelajar yang mengambil bahagian ternyata  kelihatan bersemangat dan berseronok semasa menunggang kuda. Memang jelas, program ini sangat memberi kesan atau impak yang positif kepada diri pelajar-pelajar tersebut.

Lesson fees vary by several reasons : region or area, type of discipline (or type of riding – western, english), duration of the lesson, and the number of students participating. Most centers providing beginner lessons keep horses that are safe and appropriate for children or beginners. These lesson horses (horses or ponies that being used specially to teach riding lessons) are tasked with teaching new students how to care for and ride horses.

Often good beginner lesson horses may be older and require special feeds and supplements to help them stay in top condition. The average cost to provide care & feeding for one healthy horse is around  RM450.00 – RM600.00 per month. In addition to feed and water, horses need supplements (essential vitamins & minerals), vaccinations, regular treatment against parasites, annual dent
