WHAT IS IEHM?
THE PRESIDENT
All my life I have felt a close relationship with the world of trotting, since I was a child and went to the races with my parents and my brother until today, as president of the Institute of Equestrian Sport of Mallorca.
I am proud to be part of this institution, to be able to work and continue improving the racecourses of Mallorca, prioritizing the works that need to be done.
One of the main axes on which my work is based is to maintain constant communication with the Balearic Trotting Federation and with all the clubs of our sport.
For me the most important thing is to listen to what people tell us.
I am very grateful to be part of the trotting world and the great equestrian family, a very healthy and humble hobby.
You are all welcome!
Gaspar Oliver
President of the Institute of Equestrian Sport of Mallorca.
