On August 16, 2019, the Silk Road International Horse Culture Festival 2019 successfully concluded its first press conference in Xi’an’s picturesque Qujiang Tang Park, sharing the event’s ambitious goals of turning Xi’an into a pinnacle of horse culture and tourism, and showing exceptional support for realizing this vast project from the side of sponsors and supporting organizations.

Xi’an, the starting point of the old Silk Road, has always been China’s symbolic city in cultural, historic and urban development terms. This place is not only famous for its terracotta soldiers, but is also famous for new inventive ideas, for being one of the drivers of the organic development of Chinese cities. Aligning with the New Silk Road and Belt and Road initiatives, based on four key directions of “Culture, Tourism, Education, Investment”, the Northwest Branch of China Industrial Development Research Institute, Xi’an Equestrian Association, Xi’an Intangible Cultural Heritage Conservation Association, Shanxi Qingbei Cultural Development Co.,Ltd. and Chang’an Equestrian Club launched a huge project to, based on China’s historic equestrian culture, turn Xi’an into a modern day equine centre.

This would include the organization of horse industry congress, four major symposiums, exhibitions, junior equestrian championships and building a first class cultural tourism center, which hopefully is going to become the biggest horse culture tourism project. In 2012, the city is bound to organize the National Games in 2021 for the first time, also including equestrian events. The masterminds behind the project are doing everything they can to assure that locals who are not pursuing equestrian professionally, and most importantly children also feel welcome and encouraged by these developments, and that their newly gained inspiration would build equestrian into Xi’an’s urban culture.

In his speech at the World Conference of Akhal-Teke Horse Association and China Horse Culture Festival on May 12, 2014, President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping declared the importance of horses in Chinese culture, expressing his hopes that the nation would stand up to the great mission of rejuvenating the country as relentlessly as ten thousand horses running on the vast lands not acknowledging any obstacles ahead.

Since then, it cannot be emphasized enough how much the Belt and Road initiative affects all aspects of life since its creation throughout China. Being one of the most influential countries in modern history, China’s development brought along the emergence of many inspiring projects that are also trying to heal current problems and offer cross-field solutions with tourism, education or the green sector.

Xi’an’s new plan to establish the tradition of a Silk Road International Horse Festival shows how much China is striving to become a good example in the world with creative, substantial and most importantly sustainable projects that cherish all living creatures involved, transfer immense cultural values and asks next generations to be conscious of the ways of development, preserve nature while showing that environment, competitions, tourism activities and entertainment can have a symbiotic relationship. There is no doubt that a country that already created countless miracles in history, and a city that never stops to amaze the country, will be successful in the ex*****on of all the above mentioned.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and a horse can't win all competitions in just the blink of an eye! Your horse's best years are not necessarily his young years, with a little patience and loads of trust, your duo can enjoy the rays of competition glory well after 10 as well. 🧐🧐

Some photos from the 10th 2018 China Elite Polo Tournament and Argentine Republic Polo Cup held in Beijing Tang Polo Club last weekend. The Horsemanship Magazine organized event celebrating its 10th anniversary is quite a success story, even the organizing team couldn't predict ten years ago that they would get so far as after its Tang dynasty success, polo was neglected for hundreds of years!!!

On the 10th anniversary, we had to celebrate properly. Luckily we got many supporters for that. Special thanks to the Ambassador of Argentina Diego Ramiro Guelar, the Minister of the Agricultural Ministry Ricardo Buryaile, the President of the Argentine Polo Association Eduardo Novillo Astrada for supporting the event by being present and spending the afternoon with us.

We are grateful for the players for giving the best performance they could. And we are happy that we could see and show performances that are unique in the world: Joao Lynce working equitation world champion from Portugal with a baroque style horse show and Gabor Szegedi show performer and show-jumping rider from Hungary showing the power of the Hungarian Great Plain.

China Elite Polo Tournament is coming back next year! Stay tuned!
