Completion of The Equitation Jumping Demonstration at Tuen Mun Public Riding School on 31 Aug 2019

 

Dear members, 

 

Organized by Tuen Mun Public Riding School and funded by the HKEF, the first 2019/2020 HKEF Members Activity, the Equitation Jumping Demonstration on “How to Gauge Related Distance between Pony and Horse” was held on last Saturday on 31 August 2019 at Tuen Mun Public Riding School (TMPRS). A total of 13 participants attended the demonstration despite the heavy rains. We were glad to have Ms. Caroline Holm, Senior Riding Instructor from HKJC and International Level 3 Riding Instructor, as our presenter of the event.

 

During the first half of the demonstration, Ms. Holm shared with participants her experience on how to estimate the distances between poles and fences as well as how to count the strides for horses and ponies before jumping over the obstacles. She also introduced different types of poles and how will different types of poles affect our jumping position and the time we need to prepare for the takeoff.  Highlights of the event were the demonstrations presented by the experienced staffs of Tuen Mun Public Riding School. Mr. Matthew Wong Chi-long and Quick Money, Mr. Simon Ho Yiu-chung and Pink as well as Mr. Lam Chi-kong and Gemma participated in the jumping demonstrations followed by the feedback and comments provided by Ms. Holm.

 

All participants enjoyed the event and had a better understanding on the way to estimate the distances between poles and fences as well as how to count the strides for horses and ponies before jumping over the obstacles at the end of the demonstrations.

 

The HKEF would like to express our gratitude to Ms. Caroline Holm and the staffs at TMPRS for making this demonstration possible. We would also like to thank all the participants for their support to the activity.

 

Please stay tuned to our future activities and demonstrations!

 

Best Regards,

Hong Kong Equestrian Federation
