On Monday, Hong Kong rider Yip Sui Hong made his historic debut.

39-year-old Yip, together with his partner ICY BET, a bay gelding, scored 50.545 points to rank 18th.

Yip has difficulty in using his legs because of cerebral palsy. His love of riding began at the age of eight with a visit to the local Riding for the Disabled Association. But it was not until 2001 that he decided to take up riding seriously as a hobby.

Peng and Yip will also compete in Freestyle tests on Wednesday this week.
