Does anybody remember the riding school run by Bob Charles, a former Australian jockey. My memory is from pre- war (late 30s) when we went somewhere near what I believe was Tai Hang when I served in HK in the late 60s.

Bob Tatz remembers the riding school was somewhere between Hung Hom and Kowloon City in the 1930s.
Can anyone confirm where it was located?

It has changed names several times over the years.
My mother, Helene Marie Caudron Brooks, was the 2nd of the three daughters of Maurice (Kleber) and Marcelle Caudron. She was born in Ohain, Nord, France and as a young girl went with her family to live in Singapore for a few years before moving with them in her teens to Hong Kong in the early 1930s where her father set up a trading company operating between France and Hong Kong. He family retained their property in northern France and she travelled there often.
