With a promising prospect in a sport that has been new to China, Hua was widely recognized as "one in 1.3 billion" and compared to the 110-meter hurdler Liu Xiang.
His parents and other family members were in Hong Kong to watch his performance.
Cheng Qing, head of the Chinese Olympic equestrian team, said China was hoping for a breakthrough in eventing -- possibly by Hua -- as it was far behind the western riders in the disciplines of dressage and jumping.
China sent six riders and seven horses to compete in equestrian Olympics, with four of the riders in jumping, one in dressage. Hua was the best among them at No. 21 in the latest FEI world event rider rankings.
