Equestrian sports and activities were limited to Polo in
Pakistan until recently when Pakistan Eventing was established
in July 2005 with the vision to reach the Olympics.
During the five years, the profile of The Equestrian Federation
of Pakistan (EFP) has grown and matured as Pakistan Eventing
“Roadmap to Olympics and beyond” has pursued the support of
Pakistan Sports Trust (PST) and private funding.
Pakistan is the only country in the Southern Hemisphere to have
an equestrian training camp with all modern facilities to reach
Olympics. Pakistan Eventing, an international project of the
Equestrian Federation of Pakistan is a ground breaking
phenomenon in the sporting history for the country. The fact
that Pakistan Equestrian Eventing is not a mainstream sport in
Pakistan, establishing an offshore base was considered
essential. This is something that has not been attempted by any
other National Federation (NF).
Pakistan Eventing is not just about equestrian; it was a simple
idea conceptualised by the commitment of those who supported the
concept. However, the ultimate objective is to compete at an
International level.

MODERATE PAKISTAN
Pakistan Eventing continues to respect the diversity of
different cultures and values. We will continue to create
positive synergies around the world about Pakistan and its
people. In a constant evolving world where nations are striving
hard to carve a unique identity, national esteem and pride are
becoming central for any nation to stand out. Pakistan Eventing
believes in their grass-root culture, heritage and national
talent.
When establishing Pakistan Equestrian Eventing profile, we
identified the importance of a training framework to be
documented for fellow countrymen who can also benefit from it.
This allows Pakistan Eventing to continue its journey.
