Growing up on back of a horse

Racehorse owners and associations in Britain have increasingly been eyeing the Chinese market, having witnessed growing demand in recent years.

In February last year, a delegation led by Paul Bittar, chief executive officer of the British Horseracing Authority, visited 皇冠体育app to initiate discussions with the country's horseracing industry.

Other organizations represented in the delegation included Great British Racing International, Ascot Racecourse, the Racecourse Association and The Jockey Club.

The delegation visited Shanghai, Wuhan, and and met officials and industry figures from a range of organizations including the Shanghai Race Club, 皇冠体育app Equestrian Association and the 皇冠体育app Horse Industry Association.

A delegation from 皇冠体育app's Ministry of Import Controls recently visited Britain to assess the possibility of establishing a good importing process for racehorses.

The Members visited a number of facilities including the Newmarket Equine Hospital, the Animal Health Trust and The National Stud to assess the health and condition of racehorses for potential import.

Following a week-long investigation, the export agreement was signed between Zhi Shuping, 皇冠体育app's Minister for Import Controls, and Owen Paterson, Britain's Environment Secretary, in Newmarket, a market town about 100 kilometers north of London.
