Riding hall granted by CPC to Krymsky Sport Center

The opening ceremony of a modular riding hall took place in the Krymsky Sport Center in Krymsky district of Krasnodar Krai on November 17. The complex, which price exceeds RUR 17 million, was purchased together with auxiliary equipment and special vehicles for transportation of horses by CPC under its charity program. 130 riders may practice in the riding hall all year round irrespective of the weather. A special van is provided for sportsmen who may accompany their “co-players” most comfortably.

The solemn ceremony was attended by Krymsky District Acting Head Sergei Les, CPC-R Deputy General Director, Government Relations, Mikhail Grishankov and Sport Center trainees.

Sergei Les congratulated athletes and thanked the CPC management for youth sport support in Krymsky District and Krasnodar Krai.

Mikhail Grishankov noted that support of children and youth was one of CPC charity program priorities and he wished athletes victories and personal records.

Sport Center Director Anastasia Kuzmina thanked CPC for this present.

- Horse riding is our life. Our Center is only 3 years old. When we opened a horse riding section, there were no proper conditions for exercises. A riding hall was our dream. And now when we have the opportunity to practice all year round, any time and in any weather, travel to competitions to other districts, the Center has become equal to Krai-level schools and even outrun them. We will go out to win!

During the ceremony honored guests had a chance to appraise the expertise of young athletes and see the Center pride – its best horses-multiple champions. This season Center athletes have already wun 80 different prizes at Krai and All-Russian competitions.
