Dear fellow horse aficionados,
Horses have played a significant and important role in Turkish history. Today, however, they are mostly enjoyed by equestrians. Though many of us have never touched a horse let alone had the opportunity to ride one, it seems as if, as a people, we are fascinated and have a strong love for these beautiful creatures. As the Turkish Equestrian Federation, we hope to share this love of horses and ultimately help others find the joy we find in horses. Our aim is to help Turkish equestrians gain international success and thus have Turkish equestrian culture reach more potential fans. We see it as our responsibility to the community we live in to provide future generations with a horse-loving legacy.

Thus we invite you to visit our clubs, whether it be to rediscover an old hobby, just to watch or to support your own little budding equestrian. Be on the lookout for a TEF stand for any and all information regarding the equestrian scene and TEF at the next competition you attend. I believe that a communal love of horses has the power to bring a community together as well as being able to fulfill one’s spiritual side.
We hope to see you at one of our events soon and are looking forward to meeting you.


Sincerely,
Armağan Özgörkey, TEF Chairman
