Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju to Operate Student Horse Riding Experience Starting This Month

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, operates student horseback riding experiences at four riding centers in the district.

Gwangsan-gu announced on the 3rd that it will promote a student horseback riding experience support project targeting 500 elementary, middle, and high school students in the area until the end of June.

In March, Gwangsan-gu conducted a demand survey for horseback riding experiences by school, and after receiving recommendations from principals of 46 schools, finalized the list of students for the horseback riding experience at the end of April.

The experience will be conducted on holidays or after school according to each school's circumstances.

Each student will participate in ten sessions, starting with theory and safety education about horseback riding, followed by activities such as bonding with horses and horseback riding experiences.

Gwangsan-gu supports 224,000 KRW out of the total 320,000 KRW cost for ten sessions per student.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, "We expect the horseback riding experience to help prevent academic stress and contribute to physical and mental training for students," adding, "We also hope it will help expand the horseback riding population base and revitalize the horseback riding industry."
