Getting ready for a ride in the paddock. Can anybody identify the location of the riding school? I believe it might be located not far from Kowloon City, or Hung Hom? I believe the school was closed shortly after this picture was taken.

No matter what I show in "Places shown in this photo", it just won't take it. What am I doing wrong?

A short ride in the paddock led by one of the hired hands. Don't know the exact location in Kowloon, and would appreciate suggestions from readers. The school was not in operation for long as far as I know - perhaps two or three years? The owner was my stepfather, and unfortunately he had an accident and died from his injuries. The business was shut down at that point.
