[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gunwi County, Gyeongbuk, is promoting a student horseback riding experience project at Gunwi Horse Park (located within Samguk Yusa Theme Park) for 323 elementary, middle, and high school students in the region.

According to Gunwi County on the 24th, the student horseback riding experience project is being carried out with a budget of about 133 million KRW, and the entire experience fee of 320,000 KRW per student for general horseback riding experience is supported as a subsidy.

Each student will participate in horseback riding experiences over 10 sessions, starting with theory and safety education about horseback riding, followed by interacting with horses and riding. Additionally, during the student horseback riding experience period, riders are required to enroll in rider insurance, allowing students and parents to participate in the project with peace of mind.

Park Seong-geun, Acting Governor of Gunwi County, said, "We hope this horseback riding experience project will help improve students' physical strength and mental well-being," and added, "We hope it will create a future horseback riding population and lead to the expansion of the horse industry base."

Meanwhile, Gunwi County opened 'Gunwi Horse Park,' where horseback riding experiences and other activities can be enjoyed, on November 28 last year. This place is equipped with an actual riding arena, stables, and walking machines, and offers horseback riding experiences and lessons.
