As part of The Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Year of the Horse campaign, the Harmonious Horse International Exhibition Tour has moved on to Tamar Park in Admiralty following its Community Exhibition at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza in Tsim Sha Tsui. A launch ceremony was held on 19 June. The exhibition showcases horse sculptures created by renowned artist Simon Ma, celebrating the bond between horses and humans and symbolising the unity between the Club and the community.
Guests in attendance at the launch ceremony included Rosanna Law, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism of the HKSAR Government; Winfried Engelbrecht‑Bresges, Chief Executive Officer of The Hong Kong Jockey Club; and artist Simon Ma.
The Club-supported Harmonious Horse International Exhibition Tour at Tamar Park is currently running until 28 June. The exhibition features two “Harmonious Horse” sculptures standing over three metres high and created by Ma, together with “Community Horse” sculptures and some 50 mini “Harmonious Horses” sculptures painted by various community groups and public. Every Friday to Sunday, from 8pm to 9pm, the exhibition also presents a nighttime horse-themed light show* that highlights the dynamic movement and power of galloping horses, making it a popular photo spot.
The exhibition will later travel on to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other locations. Through art and community engagement, the exhibition gives more citizens the opportunity to experience the unique charm of horse culture combined with contemporary art.
The Club’s Year of the Horse campaign is a year-long celebration of the close bond between horses and humans and the contribution racing makes to Hong Kong. It also promotes tourism as well as equine and sports development. Racing is not only the city’s favourite pastime, but also a symbol of its “can-do” spirit and stability under One Country, Two Systems. Through the success of Hong Kong horses on the international stage, the sport also brings pride to the community and global recognition to our city. None of this would be possible without the horse.
