ชมรมกีฬาขี่ม้า ค่ายทองฑีฆายุ

ชมรมกีฬาขี่ม้า ค่ายทองฑีฆายุ (VRD Riding Club) is a riding school and equestrian club under the Army Veterinary and Remount Department, based inside the ค่ายทองฑีฆายุ camp. Horses and riding are its main activity, and the club is open to military personnel and members of the public.

English-style riding courses are offered to children and adults, from basic seat and control to show jumping and dressage, taught by military instructors. Beginners are helped by military staff who lead the horse and keep them safe. The club also runs hippotherapy programmes for children with special needs or autism.

The horses include Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, crossbreeds and military working horses. Facilities include an outdoor sand arena used for training and official competitions, stables, safety helmets for learners and a car park inside the camp. There is no riding-gear shop and no commercial horse sales.

It suits people who want structured lessons in a military riding club setting, including children and adults who are new to riding. Dogs are not allowed on the site, as it is a military area and horses can startle easily.

The club is inside the ค่ายทองฑีฆายุ camp in Sam Khwai Phuak or Thammasala subdistrict, Mueang Nakhon Pathom District, Nakhon Pathom 73000. It is reached from Phetkasem Road (Route 4).

It is about 7 to 10 km, or 10 to 15 minutes by car, from Nakhon Pathom town and the Phra Pathom Chedi. It is about 60 to 80 km from Bangkok or Don Mueang Airport, roughly 1 hour to 1.5 hours by car.
