The Dunjingarav 2015 horse racing competition was held on February 28 in Tuv aimag's Khui Doloon Khudag.

We asked S.Baigalmaa, Executive Director of Country Services at the Department for Child Protection and Family Support, if any child jockeys had been injured during the horse races said to have been organized according to government resolutions.

How many children who fell from their horses were injured?

According to the media, there are reports that a lot of children fell from their horses and died. In reality, during the horse racing competition 11 children fell from their horses during the stallion and five-year-old horse races. Only one child suffered a head injury, the other 10 children didn't receive any injuries.

We heard that in previous years there were a number of injured children.

During the last two years, the Mongolian Horse Riding Foundation has paid great attention to this issue and the number of injured children has decreased dramatically.
