Hong Kong is fielding its largest-ever equestrian team at this year’s National Games and competing in all three equestrian disciplines for the first time, with eight local riders contesting the jumping, dressage and eventing competitions. They are supported by an 11-strong team of HKJC veterinarians, farriers and other supporting staff under the Hong Kong Equestrian Performance Plan that was initiated and funded by the Club.

Drawing on its equine expertise, the Club is pleased to support the development of equestrian sports through its public riding schools, by supporting the equestrian events of the Beijing Olympics and the Guangzhou Asian Games, and through nurturing elite riders who bring pride to Hong Kong
