Competition of this year, he took first place in the amateurs’ race, and was recognized as a popular rider.

I’ll Have My Second Son Learn Riding

Pak Se Hun, a student of the Sagok Junior Middle School, Taedonggang District, Pyongyang, is also an amateur rider.

His kindergarten and primary school teachers often told his mother that he didn’t confidently say what he had already known for his poor ability of expression. So she always worried about his timidity. One day she heard the news that a youth and schoolchildren’s extracurricular riding circle would be organized in the Mirim Riding Club. So she had his son attend the circle at the thought that he might foster courage if he learned riding. Since then he developed day by day beyond his mother’s expectation. Learning to ride, he grew brave and cheerful to the surprise of his teachers. And he was always followed by his classmates.

In the Autumn Competition held in 2017, he took first place in the pony riding amusement game which required quickness and correct judgment, and this year he won another victory in this event.

When asked about the secret of the victory, he said, “When I began to ride, I was afraid. But while keeping riding I grew confident in myself, courageous and competitive.”

Looking at him with satisfaction, his mother inwardly said, “I’ll have my second son learn riding.”

Music and Riding

Ho Ye Gyong is a pupil of Kumsong Secondary School No. 2. She is learning the piano. She is very sensitive and clever, and mastered the skills of riding in a short span of time. Her riding skills are very good and her postures are rhythmic.

She was the youngest girl rider in the Spring Competition. She says, “I like a steeplechase most. When I received the trophy, I was really glad. I have unusual feelings while riding. The clatter of the horse’s hoofs sounds like musical rhythms. When I am running on horse, I experience rapture which I am wont to feel playing the piano. Since learning to ride, I have become able to play the piano more vigorously at a high rate. Riding is good for studying as well as health.”

Mun Hyok is a researcher of the Pyongyang Observatory, the State Academy of Sciences. He is 31 years old.

It was at the Central Zoo that he became curious about horse. When he was 12, he went to the Central Zoo to meet his brother who worked as a breeder at the horse house. At that time he envied him his skill in handling horses. Since then he often went there and became attached to horses.

Then he was very happy to hear the news that the Mirim Riding Club was completed. With the help of the instructors of the riding club, he learned accurate riding postures and various equestrian skills, and acquired knowledge of horse and riding in the room for dissemination of knowledge of riding.

Soon riding became a part of his life. Whenever he is tired from his research work, he goes to the club to ride a horse which helps him recover from his fatigue in a moment and hit on a novel idea.

At the Spring Competition of this year, he took first place in the amateurs’ race, and was recognized as a popular rider.
