Harry the horseman is having a ball

Wearing a plain black jacket, the round-faced, stoutly-build Harry Tse, 47, looks more like a teacher till you notice his heavy riding boots and the ranch looming in the background, in a Beijing suburb.

Though he doesn't relish being called a forerunner, this Hong Kong businessman is responsible for introducing a new sport, horseball, to the country.

The founder of the China Horseball Club hopes the game will revive the nation's equestrian sports.
