In recent weeks, Inner Mongolia has started to offer horse riding lessons to students, as part of efforts to offer a diverse curriculum for all-round development.
As the new semester began, Inner Mongolia Equestrian Association provided a series of horse riding lessons for local teenagers aged between 11 and 17.
The program involves more than 2,000 students from 41 classes at regional elementary and high schools and runs from Sept 11 until the end of October. The lessons will then restart in March to avoid the cold winter temperatures.
