The Mirim Riding Club in the suburbs of Pyongyang has drawn a large number of visitors every day after the start of its operation in October.
The club has indoor and outdoor training facilities.
The outdoor facility with oval earth-sand and lawn tracks includes a basic training ground, two circular training grounds and a steeplechase training ground.
The indoor facility with a ball-trussed roof is installed with more than one hundred and scores of light bulbs as well as large mirrors. On its first floor are a hall and stands for spectators.
Among those enjoying horse riding are foreigners.
When interviewed by KCNA, Yun Song Hui, a housewife living in Ryongsong District, Pyongyang, said:
I, nearing the fifties, felt abashed when getting on a horse for the first time. So I asked a guide of the club if women in their fifties come here.
Learning the riding, I felt relieved from fatigue and refreshed. I want to enjoy horse riding here every day.
Paek Sun Bok, an official of the Pyongyang Municipal Garment Industry Management Bureau, said:
I came to feel that horse riding is very good for health. I am eager to visit this club every day.
I would like to express my profound thanks to the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un for his deep care for the construction of this wonderful club.
It's my resolve to work harder for our best socialist country.
Bus service is available from the central city to the club.

Racetrack Gambling Come To North Korea As Sanctions Hurt Economy
North Koreans are off to the races.
A series of horse races were recently held at the Mirim Horse Racing Club near Pyongyang. It's one of many new leisure developments pushed by Kim Jong Un, even as his citizens struggle for food. Hundreds attended the races, with racegoers as young as 12 allowed to bet on the horses. White horses, which have traditionally been a propaganda symbol associated with the ruling Kim family, are now used to bring in cash to an increasingly isolated nation.
After new, more lenient gambling sanctions were imposed in North Korea, there's been an effort to generate new sources of hard currency. Initially, gambling in North Korea was punishable by three years hard labor.

Jockeying for cash North Korea allows racetrack gambling as sanctions bite.
SEOUL (Reuters) - Punters in North Korea who once risked three years hard labor for gambling are now able to bet on local horse races as the isolated country scrambles to unearth new sources of hard currency amid intensifying international sanctions.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been building resorts, swimming pools and other luxurious leisure facilities in what experts say is a bid to capture some of the individual wealth generated by growing private markets for goods and services.
A series of races took place at the Mirim Horse Riding Club, one of Kim’s flagship leisure developments, near Pyongyang on Sunday, according to North Korea’s official KCNA news agency.
