History of JPEC Sentul

Jakarta Perkumpulan Equestrian Centre Sentul disingkat JPEC Sentul adalah sebuah klub yang diperuntukkan untuk olahraga berkuda yang berlokasi di Selatan Jakarta tepatnya di Jalan Raya Pasir Maung Babakan Madang Sentul Kabupaten Bogor. JPEC Sentul didirikan Bulan Februari 2002 setelah sebelumnya bernama Jakarta Polo & Equestrian Club dan berganti nama menjadi JPEC yang sekarang pada tahun 2002.

JPEC Sentul didirikan oleh perkumpulan expatriat yang tinggal di Indonesia dan menggemari olahraga berkuda. Maksud didirikannya awalnya adalah untuk menyalurkan hobi berkuda para expatriat, namun seiring waktu bukan hanya expatriat yang menjadi anggota ataupun pengunjung JPEC Sentul, kalangan warga Negara Indonesia pun sudah banyak menjadi anggota.

Cindy Cross
Cindy Cross sebagai seorang Equestrian Manager pertama di JPEC sentul adalah seorang atlit Equestrian, cabang olahraga berkuda yang dikenal sebagai tunggang serasi dan ketangkasan. Bersama rekannya Ross O'Hare, Cindy Cross memperkenalkan JPEC Sentul sebagai sebuah tempat yang sangat cocok untuk menghabiskan waktu karena lingkungannya yang sejuk dan jauh dari kepenatan kota. Selain sebuah tempat yang sangat cocok untuk belajar berkuda ataupun sekedar menunggang, JPEC Sentul juga memiliki fasilitas Restoran yang pas untuk wisata kuliner pecinta wisata Indonesia dan Mancanegara.

Cath Garden
Demi mengejar karirnya di luar negeri Ross O'Hare meninggalkan Indonesia menuju Irlandia, dan secara berturut - turut dari 2006 hingga 2008 Equestrian Manager dipegang oleh Cath Garden kemudian Neil Gundry yang sama - sama expert dalam olahraga berkuda. Baik Cath maupun Neil, keduanya sama - sama mengenal Equestrian sejak kecil di Negaranya di United Kingdom.


Neil Gundry
Setelah tahun 2008 sepeninggal Neil Gundry, jabatan Equestrian Manager dipecah menjadi dua ; Chief Instructor dan Club Manager demi improvisasi, inovasi, dan kemajuan JPEC Sentul. Dari 2008 hingga sekarang, Adi Katompo menjabat sebagai Chief Instructor, didampingi oleh Emily Kesuma, hingga awal tahun 2009, kemudian Jeffry Mardi hingga tahun 2011, lalu Dhika Anugerah hingga sekarang. Adi Katompo adalah atlit nasional yang pernah menjuarai PON di Kaltim tahun 2008 dan sempat menjadi atlit untuk disiplin Jumping Cabang Equestrian untuk SEAGAMES 2011, namun akibat cidera Adi Katompo menjadi Asisten Pelatih Nasional untuk SEAGAMES 2011 bersama Pieter Jan Berker.

General Information

GENERAL INFORMATION

The riding school offers quality tuition to riders of all levels, from beginner to novice and advanced, with training and preparation towards dressage and jumping competitions.

Lessons will normally be conducted inside a riding arena with groups of riders of similar capabilities.  One may choose to ride with a group or book a private lesson with one’s own horse or a ‘Club’ horse. If a rider wishes to book a ‘Ride Out, this will still be considered a group lesson and will be under the supervision of a riding instructor or a groom.

On first joining the Club, your riding level will be assessed to determine the group you would gain most progress with.  Bookings should be made to suit both the Club and the Member(s).

Opening Times/Days
The Club is open Tuesday to Friday 07:15 to 10:15 and 14:30 to 16: 30, Sunday from 07:30 to 10:30 and from 14:30 to 16:30.   Monday is the horses ‘rest day’.   There is an evening class on Wednesdays at 7.30 pm.

New members with no previous riding experience, who wish to enjoy the sport of riding - whether it is equestrian or trail riding, should first undertake a course of 8 lessons on a Club horse.  This is to ensure that an independent and balanced seat is established, enabling the rider to feel more confident and secure when they take up the ‘controls’ themselves.  It usually takes the average person a year, riding once a week, to feel confident with their new found skill.  Riding more often, twice or three times a week will enable you to more easily retain what you learn.

To afford young riders the opportunity to become familiar with horses from an early age, ‘pony rides’ on a lead rein are available for 20 - 300 minutes around the Club grounds.

Accessories
Articles of value should not be carried or worn.  For safety no large belt buckles, rings, chains or any items with sharp edges should be worn.

Accounts/ Billing
Accounts must be settled within 14 days of receipt, and your account should have a minimum balance of Rp. 1,000,000. 

Age Restriction
The suggested minimum age to begin riding lessons is six (6).  This is subject to further assessment by the Equestrian Manager.

Allocation of Horse
The Club will allocate riders with a horse for each lesson.  ‘Swapping’ is not permitted unless authorized by the instructor.

Assessment
As assessment lesson is conducted inside the arena, under the supervision of a Staff instructor.  The Club reserves the right to conduct an assessment as it sees fit.

Cancellation of Lessons

2.     A full lesson fee will be charged for failure to cancel a lesson.
For a cancellation made less than 24 hours in advance of a booked lesson, a charge of 50% will be 1.     levied, including moving a lesson, even on the same day.
2.     Those absent without notice for a period of more than 2 weeks will be removed from the lesson book.
3.     Riders or, in the case of small children, their parents, must initial the register in the Club Reception Office to avoid disputed re-billing.

Casual Bookings
Casual bookings should be made at least 24 hours in advance to enable the instructors to adjust their schedule.  The instructor will generally decide on a horse for each rider as he/she is aware of each horse’s capabilities and also of the rider’s abilities and needs.

Clothing
Slim-fitting jeans are acceptable but jodhpurs (for use with jodhpur boots) will add to comfort and safety.  Loose fitting trousers will lead to sore legs and poor grip.  Loose-fitting tops or shirts should be tucked inside the waistband of jodhpurs.

Club Members and their Guests
Members must register their guests at the Reception Office/Pendopo.  Guests of Members may ride and use the Club facilities a maximum of five (5) times/year.   Charges for lessons or hire of horses will be added to the personal account of the Club Member.  Should your guest wish to continue riding, they will need to take out Temporary Membership (see rates sheet) or apply for Full Membership.  New Members need to produce a receipt for either Temporary or Full Membership before lessons may be booked

Competitions
If a member is interested in competing in either jumping or dressage competitions, the opportunity and horses are available.  Regular small fun competitions will be organized at the Club for all Members to enjoy.  This will give those serious riders the opportunity to learn the basic requirements for affiliated competition.


Feeding Horses
Please restrict horse ‘treats’ to the period immediately after your lesson.  Children especially, should not go to the stable areas unattended and need to be under parental supervision at all times while at the Club.  Carrots can be purchased from the Pendopo/Café.

Footwear
Leather shoes with laces are acceptable, but correct footwear such as jodhpur boots, long boots or rubber long boots specially manufactured for riding are safer and add to comfort.  Sandals, gym shoes or high-heeled fashion shoes are not permitted.

Hard Hats
Everyone is required to wear appropriate headgear for safety purposes.  It is strongly recommended that prospective riders purchase their own helmets.  A small number of helmets are available for loan at the club.

Hiring
Anyone under the age of 16 may not ride outside the Club premises unless accompanied by an adult rider.  Anyone hiring a club horse may not gallop or jump unless under instruction.  If the hired mount is lame or cannot be ridden, a replacement will be provided, if available.

Indemnity Forms
A form of indemnity must be signed by all persons or by parent /guardian on behalf of minors wishing to ride at the Club.  This rule also applies to guests of members and visitors.

Rides-Out
All ride outs will be conducted under the supervision of the Equestrian Manager, who in turn may nominate a groom to supervise (if necessary).

Riders’ Progress
A rider’s progress will be assessed by the Equestrian Manager or one of the other instructors approximately 3-4 times a year.  This will take the form of a riding report, giving the rider a grade, comments and tips for improvement.

Safety
Check saddle and girth before mounting.  Mount and dismount in an enclosed area.  After dismounting, run stirrup irons up the leathers and do not let go of the reins until the groom takes your horse.  When passing other riders in the ring, riders should note that the international standard passing left to left is followed at JPEC Sentul.

Spectators
Neither horse nor rider should be distracted during a lesson.  In the event of a fall, the instructor will be responsible for deciding upon the action to be taken.
