Horseback Riding in Nature : Jeju Island, the Home of Horses

Join Kara Jue, a teacher at Branksome Hall Asia, on a horse-related journey around Jeju! She starts at Iho Beach and its iconic and picturesque horse-shaped lighthouses. Beautiful! Then she learns about the Uigwi region of southeast Jeju which for centuries has been closely related to the raising of horses. She tours the Heonmagongsin (Meritorious Servant) Kim Man-il Memorial Hall and hears about islander Kim Man-il, who in the late 1500s offered his Jeju horses to help protect Joseon Korea from foreign invaders. And of course this video wouldn’t be complete without a ride on a real Jeju horse through Jeju’s lovely cedar and cypress forest. We hope you enjoy this insightful video as much as we did!
