The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) established Beas River Equestrian Centre (BREC) in 1964 as a home for retired racehorses, evolving into a premier facility for members with riding schools, competitions, and retraining programs, notably serving as a venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympics equestrian events and fostering local equestrian sports development. Before dedicated schools, Jockey Club members used Beas River for riding classes, with activities growing in the '60s and ‘70s.
The Beas River Riding School (BRRS), offering top-tier instruction and facilities for HKJC members, is recognized by the British Horse Society as a certified Riding and Livery Centre.
The Beas River Equestrian Centre, being the largest in Hong Kong, houses 257 horses and provides world class facilities including offering extensive riding services for members (instruction, facilities) and running the successful Retired Racehorse Retraining Programme (RESTART). BREC remains central to the HKJC's mission to develop equestrian sports in Hong Kong, hosting competitions and cultivating local interest.
