Domestic industry galloping toward greener pastures

Last weekend's Shanghai Longines Global Champions Tour provided China's burgeoning equestrian scene with another vital shot in the arm.

"Since 2014, the event has been attracting the top riders from China and all over the world, and has become an extravaganza for equestrian-loving people," said Zhang Xingmin, deputy director of Shanghai Sports Bureau.

"Also, the Sino-Europe Horse Industry Exchange Seminar held each year in conjunction with the event has become an important meeting for the equestrian industry globally and helps bring more energy to China's equestrian development."
