CHHT and De Gerdine Hoeve is a professional company based in Holland which is specialized in Equestrian sport and related service.

Its purpose was not only to control the rules and regulations of international equestrian competitions, but to develop equestrian sport, including dressage, on a worldwide basis.

And while a decade ago the Chinese were serious contenders in only a handful of sports like ping pong and diving, in Athens they competed in every sport except for baseball and equestrian events.
