Equestrian has no mass base in China and belongs to minority sports. Olympic equestrian is not a traditional equestrian in Chinese grasslands. And the horses involved are different. There is a big gap in hardware and technology between China, Europe, America, Australia and other equestrian powers, because equestrian has high economic requirements, especially for participating horses. Even though Huatian has a rich family, horses still need sponsorship. In addition to supporting the development of individual riders, China equestrian also needs funds to support the development of horse veterinary industry and hold competitions to motivate athletes, attract enthusiasts to promote equestrian and manage equestrian industry chain.
Modern equestrian originated from the European royal family, and now it has been regarded as the key project of children's education in western countries. Children who learn equestrian will naturally get more opportunities to study abroad and make more friends. In foreign countries, if you are good at equestrian sports, you still have a chance to enter top schools. If you can participate in the competition as a representative of the school team at school, you may also get a generous scholarship! The cost and cycle of learning equestrian are different from a series of hobbies such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. For equestrian, which used to be an "aristocratic sport", children learn equestrian because they are closely related to animals in nature, and their instinct will stimulate their interest and love.
Modern equestrian appeared in China in 1970. However, it has a history of hundreds of years in the equestrian power. To sum up, it is because equestrian has not been developed in China, and as a sport with huge capital consumption, it is difficult to develop equestrian like training top athletes in other events, so at present, China riders support equestrian training with their own economic base.
