Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein of Jordan made a quick visit to Bermuda on Wednesday  to meet with the Board members of the Bermuda Equestrian Federation (BEF).

The purpose of her visit was a fact finding mission to gain some insight on the needs of the development countries that make up the Group IV contingent of the FEI of which Bermuda is a member.  

Michael Cherry, president of the BEF, said: "it was a productive meeting and HRH was impressed with the BEF  programmes." 

Board director and public relations officer McKeisha Smith said: "Princess Haya was genuinely interested in the ideas proposed and she will be looking to make some of these recommendations a reality after she meets with our neighbours to the south for their input." 

Princess Haya concluded her day with a picturesque lunch at Cafe Lido's waterside with a few of the BEF Directors.  

She was headed for Jamaica followed by Cayman, Antigua, Barbados and Trinidad. n
