But students in Inner Mongolia autonomous region (自治区) get something new – equestrian lessons – or how to ride a horse.This term, more than 2,000 students aged 11 to 17 in Hohhot are taking equestrian lessons in their PE classes. They finished the first stage of learning in the first two months. The local (当地的) equestrian association(协会) gave them the horse-riding lessons.On Oct 10, more than 30 eighth-graders from Hohhot Mongolian School took their first class. They learned how to get on, get off and get along with horses.“Teachers told us not to pat(拍) the back side of horses. Otherwise, the horses will be afraid and then kick me,” said Liu Mengran, 13. As a girl, Liu was a little afraid of the tall horses. But after learning that horses are docile (温顺的), she tried to pet a horse. “The horse stayed there quietly. It didn’t hurt me. I felt close to it,” Liu said.She also learned s ome rules to treat horses, like not beating or shouting at them.The students are glad to master the traditional skill. Hu He, 13, always wanted to learn horse riding. But because he lives in the city and is busy with study, he hasn’t got any chance.“People often asked me if I could ride a horse,” Hu said. “Now I can proudly(骄傲) say ‘yes’.”The equestrian class will reopen in March of 2018.
