A man rides a horse at a new equestrian club in Xiangmihu, Futian District on Thursday. Equestrian in China lags far behind the rest of the world, especially in terms of professional training compared to that in Europe and Australia. The Futian club, which opened to the public Wednesday, covers an area of 12,000 square meters and has introduced 11 ponies for children and seven other horses from countries including the U.K., Australia, the Netherlands and Germany for adults.
