When I lived in Hong Kong, we hacked out all,over the place, though tiny Chinese villages and paddy fields, over huge mountains up to the catchments (huge open concrete drains) which we galloped alongside, into the no mans land near the border anda best of all up to hidden rock pools where we would tether the ponies to the trees, slide down the bank and swim. Then get back on soaking wet and be dry before we got home. We could also hack to the jockey club and ride round the edge of the golf course. Lo Wu had regular cross country events and it's own course, plus the course at Beas River which we scrambled round on 12hh ponies as well as mad TBs. On Boxing Day there was a hunt where everyone and I mean everyone who had a horse, got together and chased after someone on horseback dressed as a fox, flying over the cross country jumps as a pack, followed by a HUGE party. Every summer we used to take the polo ponies to Tai Lam reservoir for a week's holiday, camping outside the drug correctional centre, highlight of which was galloping bareback down the river bed to Castle Peak and straight into the sea. But different now I guess mill reef?
