IT was a rare treat to see how horse and rider worked together to clear obstacles in their path at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) International Johor Horse Show 2011.
Held at its campus in Skudai, the event featured 22 events over four days from March 10.
Altogether 70 riders and 100 horses from 17 equestrian clubs throughout the country took part in the event organised for the third time by UTM.
Besides the equestrian events which range from show jumping to dressage and endurance 20km, 40km and 80km rides, there was also an equine exposition, co-organised by the Farrier Association of Malaysia and Malaysian Equine Council.
The exposition featured a farrier demonstration and competition. Farrier Association of Malaysia chairman Raja Azid Raja Ismail said eight farriers took part in the competition in which their skills in making horse shoes were tested.
