Did you know that we have a sport known as the Dressage in Zambia? Oh yes, we do.

We are delighted to share that Cfao Motors Zambia Limited sponsored the National Dressage Championships that took place on 16^th and 17^th September 2023, which was held at Lazy J Ranch and Stables in Lusaka. Wondering what dressage is all about?

Dressage is a form of horse riding performed in exhibition and competition, as well as during an art festival which is sometimes pursued solely for the sake of mastery.

The word “dressage” comes from the French word “dresseur”, which means training, the sport involves showing off a horse’s training by performing a set of prescribed movements in front of an audience or a panel of judges.

In dressage, the rider and the horse are judged on how they carry out certain movements in a progressive course that gradually increases in complexity. The sport involves multiple levels of difficulty, that is from beginner (known as the training level) to the fourth level.

Dressage is all about the horse/ rider combination, working in harmony, developing suppleness, flexibility, obedience, and athleticism to perform special, carefully controlled movements as directed by the rider.

It was entertaining to watch both human and equestrian athletes take on the challenging course with speed, grace, and courage. At CFAO Motors we take pride in developing together with the communities we operate in hence giving back to society through various sports sponsorships like the just ended Zambia Limited sponsored the National Dressage Championships, which was a success. Congratulations to Racheal Howard with 80% as he highest score and Maddy Nicole conferred as the best turn out, Miss Moneypenny.

Cfao Motors Zambia Management and staff extends a big congratulations to all the participants for their resilience and commitment during the tournament.

It was all about two souls, one purpose!

Herewith the list of Champions and reserve Champions for each Class of close relationship between a horse and rider:

Today, we mark the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, a reminder of our shared duty to safeguard the air we breathe. Air pollution harms health, accelerates climate change, and threatens biodiversity. But there’s hope. Together, we can reduce emissions, support clean energy, and ensure clean air for all. Small actions add up to a brighter future. Let’s commit to cleaner air—for ourselves and future generations.
