The city will recruit a total of 140 elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as youth residing in Taebaek. The program covers 70% of the horseback riding lesson fees, so participants will only need to pay 96,000 won out of the total 320,000 won fee.

Applications can be submitted individually through the "Horsepia" portal for horse industry information, and final participants will be selected by computerized lottery. Results will be announced individually via text message in early May, or can be checked on the Horsepia website.

A Taebaek City official stated, "We hope that this program will help local youth experience horseback riding as a healthy leisure activity and contribute to their overall well-being."

The student horseback riding program will be held at Taebaek Riding Club and will be operated on weekends and during school vacations.
