An Tao is a proud Beijinger with a cowboy spirit. For over a decade, he has studied and practiced Western-style riding—one of the world’s two major equestrian systems. In The Cowboy of Beijing, we follow his journey as he builds a Western horsemanship club on the outskirts of the capital. With open land, leather saddles, and endless enthusiasm, he introduces Chinese riders to the charm and discipline of the American West—redefining what it means to ride free in the East.
