掲載日:2025.01.14

At Rakuno Gakuen University Department of Veterinary Medicine, as part of the clinical rotation equine medical course, students have the opportunity to participate in horseback riding for people with disabilities at the Hokkaido Horseback Riding Center for People with Disabilities in Bankei.
Horseback riding for people with disabilities is an animal-assisted activity, and is known to have positive psychological and physical effects on the rider (the person who rides the horse). The purpose of this center is to improve the quality of life of horse riders by giving them lessons so that they can ride horses independently.
