Do You Know 'Jaehwal Seungma'? … Korea Racing Authority Bukyeong Headquarters Recruiting Trainees for Equestrian Experience to Aid Physical and Mental Disability Recovery

From the 14th, first-come-first-served for 6 people aged 6 to 30

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Are you familiar with ‘rehabilitation horseback riding’?

Rehabilitation horseback riding is an activity designed for people with physical and mental disabilities to experience horseback riding, aiming to promote recovery of body and mind and provide enjoyment.

The Korea Racing Authority Busan·Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters will begin accepting applications on the 14th for the first rehabilitation horseback riding class of the year on a first-come, first-served basis.

Since 2011, the Busan·Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters has operated rehabilitation horseback riding programs annually as part of its social contribution projects.

The rehabilitation horseback riding program is offered free of charge to local residents with disabilities. Applicants must hold a disability registration card (welfare card), be between 6 and 30 years old, under 180 cm in height, and weigh less than 70 kg.

To provide opportunities to more people, applicants who have previously taken rehabilitation horseback riding classes at the Busan·Gyeongnam Headquarters will be given priority if there are remaining spots after new applicants are considered.

Six participants will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis from 11 a.m. on the 14th until 10 a.m. on the 20th. Those wishing to apply should submit one copy each of the application form, pledge, consent form for personal information use, disability registration card (welfare card), and a medical opinion letter (regarding riding capability) via email following the recruitment announcement on the Korea Racing Authority Hospia website.

The list of selected participants will be announced on the Hospia website at 2 p.m. on March 20.

The classes will run from March 26 to May 1, once a week for a total of six sessions. Classes will be organized in pairs, with one horse assigned per participant. Students will take part in programs involving horse interaction and physical exercise through horseback riding.
