Background
My name is Charmaine Ip. I currently attend King George V School, and am part of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Youth Equestrian Squad.
I started riding 7 years ago at Lo Wu Saddle Club and gradually got into competing. In 2019, at the age of 12, I participated in my first national competition, the 2nd National Youth Games in Shanxi. In addition, in 2019 I was recruited as a member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Junior Equestrian Team. I usually train and compete on a gelding called Hope.
I also do athletics and sprint the 400m. I enjoy spending time with my friends, and playing other sports such as volleyball and badminton.
In 2021 I won the FEI WJC Category C (100-110cm) 3rd competition. I am very grateful to my parents and coaches for these opportunities.
In the future, I will continue to work hard to achieve good results at major events locally and hope to go abroad once again to represent HK.
