Equine esteem

White-collar Chinese are buying horses and galloping into a traditionally - and still predominately - elite pursuit. Yang Feiyue reports.

Bai Ying's stained apron and waterproof boots show equestrian ownership is not the preserve of the superrich.

The white-collar Beijinger cares for her horse at a stable in the capital's Daxing district most mornings before work. (The ultra-wealthy pay others to do the dirty work.)
