Striding on together - the HKJC and equestrian sport share the same spirit of partnership and commitment to excellence.
All equestrian coaches have obtained internationally-recognised qualifications from the British Horse Society (BHS) or the equivalent and hold up-to-date first aid certificates. Equestrian coaches receive weekly training from the Senior Manager, Equestrian (PRS) and regular training from visiting coaches and examiners. Where possible, they are sent overseas to further their training and to enrich their experience. All are encouraged to compete in horse shows and competitions.
