An event was held in Kyoto City where nursery school children could try riding the horses of the Kyoto Prefectural Police cavalry unit, which is used for security purposes at festivals in Kyoto.
This event is held by the Kyoto Prefectural Police’s “Heian Cavalry” to get people familiar with the police, and on the 25th, 13 nursery school children from Kyoto City participated.
The cavalry unit is in charge of festival security and traffic safety awareness, and the police officer who appeared on two horses began by saying, “We do our work on horseback, just like the white motorcycles you see in town.” I’m a police officer,” I introduced myself.
After this, the children immediately tried their hand at horseback riding.The children sat in front of the member holding the reins, and as the horse slowly began to walk, they looked nervous at first, but then their faces began to smile.
A 5-year-old girl who participated said, “It was fun because the horses were so tall.I want to ride them again.”
Naoto Iwashita, a member of the Kyoto Prefectural Police Heian Cavalry Brigade, said, “I think that the presence of horses makes the police feel closer to everyone.I want children to obey traffic rules and grow up freely.” We were talking.
